Outside Edge Theatre Company celebrates 25 years with new trustees.
Marking their 25th anniversary, Outside Edge Theatre Company (OETC) have appointed four incredible new trustees: award-winning director Sarah Frankcom, finance expert Brian Dorgan, fundraiser Tania Moy and Southwark Playhouse’s Head of Participation, David Workman. These new trustees will help further develop the phenomenal work of OETC as the organisation heads into its next 25 years, determined to continue making change and using the performing arts to support people affected by addiction. OETC produces cutting edge theatre about issues related to addiction, from substance misuse to problem gambling, also providing free drama workshops to help support those in recovery and people affected by addiction.
Over the last two and a half decades, OETC has created over 60 award-winning productions at prestigious London venues including Soho Theatre, Riverside Studios, the VAULT Festival, Hoxton Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall, and provided free drama and arts workshops and activities for thousands of participants. The company believes that creative engagement and exploring complex issues through drama can bring about positive change for those affected by addiction. Alongside workshops and creating shows, OETC provides a holistic type of arts-based support, offering participants one-to-one Pastoral Care Support, Volunteer and Employment Activities, theatre trips and training and paid performance opportunities.
OETC Artistic Director and CEO Matt Steinberg comments, Everyone at Outside Edge is excited to welcome Sarah, Brian, Tania and David to our Board of Trustees. Each brings a wealth of knowledge, skill and experience from the arts and charity sectors, which we are grateful they have chosen to share with us. Alongside Tom and our other Trustees, I look forward to working closely with our new Board Members as we build on the company's first twenty-five extraordinary years to shape plans for the future of this unique arts organisation.
