From January 2014 Lisa Makin joins Chichester Festival Theatre's team of associates as Creative Producer.
Working with Artistic Director Jonathan Church, Lisa will help to deliver the artistic programme in the newly-refurbished Festival and Minerva Theatre as well as building on the company's expanding national and international work.
Makin was Head of Casting and Associate Director for the Royal Court Theatre for twenty years working closely with directors and writers.
More recently, she has worked in the commercial sector as Creative Producer for Sonia Friedman Productions and as Head of Creative Development at Stage Entertainment.
Jonathan Church, Artistic Director at Chichester, said, "We have long admired Lisa's work and find it incredibly exciting that she is coming to work with Chichester, just as our capital project RENEW nears completion and our focus returns to creating full-scale festivals with our theatre fully restored and improved."
