At our Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 25th March, Phoenix Theatre welcomed a new committee for 2026. We're excited to introduce some fresh faces, celebrate some well-earned role changes, and say a warm thank you to those who have given so much of their time over recent terms.

Helen Topliss steps up as our new Chair, bringing two terms of committee experience with her. Raewyn Nevin, who has previously lead the committee, moves into the role of Immediate Past Chair. Braydon Priest takes on the Secretary role after two terms as Vice Chair, and Holly Pollock joins the committee as Treasurer, having been an instrumental part of our production management team on recent shows. Kate Birch also joins as a new committee member, most recently directing The Pink Hammer and appearing as Pauline in Call Girls.

Continuing on committee are Grace Rhynd, Liz Cannon, Jimmy Carrick, Aimee Tribe, and Dale Everiss.

A huge thank you to Ann-Marie Jacobs-Brown, Liss Perry, and Corinna Homer, who have stepped off committee this term. Their hard work over the last couple of terms has meant a lot to the club, and we wish them well as they turn their attention to other commitments.

Here's to a fantastic 2026!
