Finally coming down from the whirlwind week in London!

A huge thankyou to all who came to #Screen9 this week. That’s a wrap from us at @theatrepiccolo but stay tuned as this is just a brief pause for the show and our company!

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

@el_howell @theatre503 Amazing!!!! So well deserved! Xx

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

Living my best Leslie Knope life this week working on the Claremont Park Launch and it’s been a blast!🌳

[Piccolo Theatre @theatrepiccolo]

After nearly 2 years of talking on the phone, managing time differences / logistics - what a joy it was to meet Sandy and Lonnie Phillips from @survivorsemp
It is with their permission that we are privileged to tell Jessi’s story and share her message and memory through #Screen9

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

Updates to come… 🤭

Producing Durham's #WorldHeritageDay this week was just a silly amount of fun!
What a privilege to celebrate our heritage and culture in such an epic way! Huge thanks to all involved and of course to all that came!

@NMHIBUIsHere Oh no!! Hope you’re alright! I’m around Monday / Tuesday if you’re still in need of a dog sitter? 🐶

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

Huge congrats to the #Durham2025 team on submitting the bid!

This county has something to share and could do with a microphone to help them tell it!

Support the North East!
Support Durham!

Fun fact - I applied for this last year but drank a whole bottle of wine to give me the guts to apply.
Didn’t think I would get shortlisted nevermind be selected.
Not recommending the alcohol - but recommend anyone to go for it even if you think you aren’t good enough.
You are.

As we can’t have shows this week - come check out our bar instead!

[The Assembly Rooms Theatre @Assembly_Rooms_]

Our bar is open! Come and warm up with some mulled wine whist on your travels around the Lumiere festival. We are serving all sorts of tasty drinks and snacks to keep you fuelled while you look around!

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

Side note - never have I been more bemused in a meeting! It was an impressive way to make a terrible first impression!
Side note - I was the person shouted at and not in the car if that wasn’t clear!

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

Here’s a thought…

Maybe don’t shout abuse out of the window of your car at someone you don’t know…

…Especially when that someone is then introduced to you 5 mins later as a section head in the same department where you just started a job????? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Kate Barton @KateBarton95]

@JenniferLaneB AMAZING!!!! Huge congrats Jenny!! 🎉🎉🎉
