Holly Huchinson: Stage Manager and Producer
During her time at the University of Lincoln, Holly has enjoyed many modules. However her experience on the Shakespeare module has to be one of her favourites. Particularly due to my role as Stage Manager, having worked in retail for the past 5 years she has discovered a passion for management, so stage managing felt like the perfect role for her within her degree. She is excited to take on the role for the fourth time now within the Theatre Company module, and is really excited to be a part of FalseTitle. and their upcoming premier of WOMENSwear.
Lauren Brook: Marketing Officer
Lauren has a wide body of marketing and performance work, contained within the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre where she has studied drama for three years. In 2013, Lauren performed at the National Theatre as part of the National Connections Festival with the Lincoln Young Company, which saw her play Harley in Stacey Gregg’s I’m Spilling My Heart Out Here. Since then, she has taken a step back from performing, choosing instead to focus on marketing and stage management roles. She has been the stage manager for the Lincoln Young Company for the past two productions, and has taken an active role in the programming of the venue through LPAC Producers, with whom she has produced and commissioned artists such as Sara Pascoe and Sam Halmarack. She has been the marketing manager of the group since September 2014.
