He has since produced award winning drama series and films in the UK and around the world.
Andy joined Stage Management Association in 2012. He is committed to supporting stage and production and events management, and the value of the creative work that these disciplines contribute to UK Theatre and the British economy, working with SMA to make theatre and live events more inclusive and representative of the communities we serve. He meets many dozens of School, FE, and University tech theatre and stage management students annually, visiting their courses and at trade shows – representing and promoting SMA and backstage work.
Andy’s aim is to ensure that the Association supports all members in all aspects of their working lives, working to make SMA as inclusive and welcoming to all people interested in stage management and live events management as possible. Our membership, advocacy and support should always be available, good value, helpful and relevant to all stage managers and people interested in stage management in the UK.
