I’m Julie, and I’m thrilled to be part of  Theatre Educational Company!

I’ve had an interest and have worked in the theatre and front-of-house management for many years.

As a young child I loved the theatre, a passion that no one else in my family could understand!

At 17, I worked for the Redgrave family and was involved in the booking of various artists for touring and resident shows.

I was promoted to front-of-house and bookings manager until the theatre closed due to an Arts Council grant being withdrawn.

During that time, I have always maintained my love of all things theatre and was approached to open a local theatre school on the island by well-known creative director Kevin Dowsett, who was previously head of acting at Italia Conti. So, on the Isle of Wight, Theatretrain was born and has been running under my helm for the past 21 years.

I am absolutely delighted to be involved with Theatre Educational. I place a high priority on quality education, and I am committed to providing children, young people, and adults with the opportunity to learn about theatre in a safe and supportive environment.

I am also committed to safeguarding children. This is especially important in the theatre world, where children may be spending time away from their parents or guardians and working with adults they don’t know well.
