And It's Goodbye From Me...

Jill Streatfeild, our General Manager for the last 10 years, is moving on in December.

AND IT'S GOODBYE FROM ME...

Some of you may have heard that, after 10 amazing years as General Manager, I shall be leaving Eastern Angles on 10 December.

I have greatly enjoyed the last 10 years with the company, particularly working with all the in-house team, plus our actors, writers, directors, designers and of course our wonderful group of Angels. I have always had enormous respect and admiration for the work produced here, often on very limited resources, and for the skill and dedication of all the staff.

But I have been working pretty well non-stop for some 38 years(!) now, having left ballet school to begin my career as a dancer at the age of 17 and I just want to stop for a while and take stock. I plan to give myself a break and spend more time at home in Woodbridge with my partner, as well as in Kent to sort out care arrangements for my 92-year-old mother. I will then hope to take on some freelance or part-time work in the East England arts world, so look forward to seeing or working with some of you again in the future.

This has been a very difficult decision and I will miss working here enormously. I will of course keep in touch - and will make sure I don't miss any of the new shows.
