Rachael Williams will join Park Theatre on 3 October 2016 as the theatre’s new Executive Director, to work alongside Artistic Director Jez Bond and the rest of the team.

North London resident Rachael has been Executive Director at Improbable since October 2013. Prior to this she worked at the Gate Theatre in Notting Hill, first as Assistant Producer and subsequently as Producer. She has also worked in the Development Department at English National Opera and for Creation Theatre Company in Oxford. She is a Trustee of Metta Theatre and the Bach Choir.

Rachael said, “I am thrilled to be joining the team at Park Theatre. Having lived in Finsbury Park when the theatre opened, I’ve watched Park go from strength to strength over the last 3 years. I’m looking forward to playing my part in producing and hosting exceptional work, reaching the widest possible audience and ensuring that Park Theatre is at the heart of Finsbury Park’s community.”

Summer 2016 also sees big changes to the area around the theatre, with the ongoing build of City North – a major residential and commercial development, due to launch in 2020. The Wells Terrace exit of Finsbury Park Tube station will be permanently closed, in advance of a new entrance being built through the pedestrianised street of the new development. Patrons will therefore access the theatre via a different route from the underground.
