This week, we welcomed guests from across the city and region to launch our organisational plan for the next five years.

Hosted in our Patrick Studio and hosted by Satnam Rana, our Artistic Director and Chief Executive Jon Gilchrist was joined by guest speakers Vidar Hjarding, Elizabeth Lawal, Jonathan Church and Glenn Howells to share our strategic ambitions and plans.

Guests were treated to a first taste of what to expect from our Circle Lounge with delicious canapés from Angelina Adamo and enjoyed performances from our Musicals Youth Theatre and a preview of The Drifters Girl, with Ashford Campbell singing Stand By Me to close the evening.

Developing our five-year organisational plan would not have been possible without all the collaboration and constructive conversations we’ve had with our partners, suppliers and the wider Birmingham ecology, we would like to thank you everyone who joined us for the launch.
