Thrilled to be part of this terrifyingly interesting group of people.

One of the unsung heroes of British theatre. Under Annabel, ARC has supported so much work and so many artists in a generous, kind, unshowy way. This is truly the end of an era. BIG shoes to fill.

[arcstockton @arcstockton]

After 15 years of incredible leadership, transforming ARC into the organisation we are today, our Chief Executive, Annabel Turpin will be moving on to a new challenge later this year.
