Sheffield Theatres Welcome New Associate Producer

Sheffield Theatres has today announced that Caroline Dyott will be joining its Senior Management Team this month in the newly created role of Associate Producer.

Caroline will lead the Production department working closely with Chief Executive Dan Bates and Artistic Director Daniel Evans to explore, develop and fully realise the potential of Sheffield Theatres' productions.

Over the last three years Sheffield Theatres has won several major awards recognising the quality of the work on its stages, including Regional Theatre of the Year for two consecutive years. It has created and toured several productions including, in the last twelve months, Twelfth Night, The Absence of War, Anything Goes and This Is My Family. This strategic role will see Caroline lead the Production department, develop relationships with producers and theatre companies and oversee the planning and scheduling of the work to support the company's ongoing resilience and sustainability.

Caroline will take up her role from Monday 17 August. She joins the company from English Touring Theatre, where she has worked since 2012. Previously, her work as a freelance producer includes Events While Guarding the Bofors Gun in 2012 and The Man in 2011. She also sits on the advisory board of interactive theatre company non zero one.

Chief Executive Dan Bates commented: 'I am delighted to welcome Caroline to Sheffield Theatres in this new role. Caroline's appointment offers us the opportunity to develop new relationships with producing partners and ensure that we maximise the potential of all of our shows. Her extensive experience will enable us to embark on a range of exciting new creative projects, with a view to further developing our productivity and ultimately enhancing our success.'

Caroline Dyott commented: 'I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Sheffield Theatres. Having seen many brilliant shows here and enjoyed working with the team on several co-productions, I'm really looking forward to being part of the great work which comes out of the organisation.'

Caroline joins Sheffield Theatres at the beginning of the autumn season, which includes a new production of Romeo & Juliet (Thu 17 Sep - Sat 17 Oct) directed by Jonathan Humphreys, with Freddie Fox and Morfydd Clark in title roles. In the Studio, Deborah's Bruce's sharply funny play The Distance has its regional première (Thu 29 Oct - Sat 14 Nov) and at Christmas, Daniel Evans is joined by a stellar team to direct a lavish new production of the epic American musical Show Boat (Thu 10 Dec - Sat 16 Jan).
