Kiln appoints playwright and leading agent as trustees

Playwright and actor NATASHA GORDON is to join Kiln Theatre’s board of trustees, alongside top theatrical agent KATIE HAINES and composer MAIMUNA MEMON.

The trio are part of a host of new trustees, charged with overseeing the work of the North London theatre under chair of the board SABINE CHALMERS.

Also joining existing trustees are PIPPA ADAMSON, a chartered accountant whose financial expertise has led her to roles at the likes of the Royal Ballet School and the Royal Shakespeare Company; sustainability leader ALEKSANDRA BARNES; and events specialist MICHAEL BERG.

The batch of freshly-appointed trustees also includes SOPHIE HUSSEY, HEATHER DOUGHTY, ALASTAIR LEVY and STACY COYNE WRIGHT.

AMIT SHARMA, artistic director and chief executive of Kiln Theatre, and executive director IAIN GOOSEY wrote: “We’re thrilled to welcome these inspiring new trustees to the Kiln family.

“Each brings unique insight and invaluable experience that will help shape our future – one that is rooted in bold creativity, diverse storytelling and a deep community connection. We’re proud and excited to work with this brilliant board as we continue to deliver our mission of staging world-class theatre, alongside exceptional artists, from the heart of Kilburn.”
