Park Theatre welcomes new board members

The Park Theatre in London has appointed PIA RICHARDS GLOCKNER and JACQUELINE HURT to its board of trustees, both of whom are local to the Finsbury Park venue.

A partner in the film and television team at Sheridans, Hurt specialises in all aspects of production, financing and distribution of films and television programmes providing legal and commercial strategic advice. She is also on the board of Headlong Theatre.

Richards Glockner was recruited from Park Theatre’s Youth Board and is a theatre maker, performer, disability and youth arts advocate.

As a young person, she gained experience performing with theatre group Company Three before going on to work with the organisation and at the Barbican Centre.

Since then, she has worked as an assistant director, participation director and access support specialist with disabled artists.

Artistic director JEZ BOND said: “In eleven years, Park Theatre has grown in both size and ambition. A strong board is vital to help guide and support the senior executive along the way, and we’re pleased to welcome two new trustees to the charity.

“Both are local and share a passion and knowledge of the arts: one as an energetic, early-career practitioner and the other is an established media lawyer.”
