ARTISTIC DIRECTORS

OUR Artistic Directors are the driving force behind our productions and company

Appointed for 3 years, and a volunteer role, our artistic directors contribute a huge amount to the everyday running of our company, alongside providing the vision and leadership for where we are heading.

Each Artistic Director (or in the past Artistic Committee Member) since we were first formed have added, changed and grown our company and we are hugely thankful to all of them for everything they have done for us.

CURRENT ARTISTIC DIRECTORs

Barney Hart Dyke

July 2022 - Present

Barney has been a Group 64 & PTC member since pretty much the beginning of time, as well as previously undertaking a stint as Artistic Director from 2006 - 2010. Experienced across pretty much every area of the theatre, seen on stage, backstage, up ladders and up against the bar.

Cait Hart Dyke

July 2022 - Present

Cait has been a member of PTC since 2016 and since then has performed in too many productions to count. She was so keen on the theatre that she even found her husband here, and has been supporting and leading him and the theatre company ever since.
