New Wolsley Theatre's Chief Executive SARAH HOLMES and Artistic Director PETER ROWE are stepping down from their roles at the end of March.

The pair have been leading the Ipswich theatre for 21 years.

Earlier this year, they reopened the theatre with a new community participation hub, outdoor performance space and refurbished auditorium.

"We have had an exhilarating time in Ipswich making popular, accessible theatre in this unique auditorium for over 20 years," Holmes and Rowe said.

"As the New Wolsey returns to full strength, and our industry emerges from the challenges of the pandemic, with arts organisations rightly looking to diversify their leadership, it is time to hand this opportunity on to a new generation of theatre makers."
