We are proud to announce the appointment of a new full-time Technical Director, Scott Myers, who joined us this Autumn.

Scott has a wealth of experience in the theatre technical field. Scott hails from Los Angeles where he worked in various theatres and broadcasting companies. He came to the UK in the late 1980’s to join The National Theatre where he worked as Assistant Head of Sound before joining the RSC as Head of Sound. Scott gained considerable lighting experience as Head of Technicians at The Royal Opera House in Oman. His extensive career has also seen him work as Technical Manager and Director at The Junction Theatre Cambridge and the Kings Place Music Foundation. At both of these venues he was instrumental in the build and installation of the technical aspects of the venues.

Scott is tasked with recruiting a full time technical team. He has considerable experience in developing and training technicians; once in place the technical team will cover all TFT shows and will be responsible for developing and training a volunteer cadre of technicians. This will ensure that not only does the Theatre have a design and technical element for every show but that the volunteer technicians have ample back up to run shows.

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director at Titchfield Festival Theatre said, “We are truly delighted to have Scott Myers on board at Titchfield. His experience in working with some of the best talents in the world is incredible and as our very first full-time Technical Director his knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm will be of immeasurable benefit.” 

Scott Myers said, “I am thrilled to be joining the team here at Titchfield. This theatre is a real asset to the local community and it is a great time to get involved. I have worked in the theatre world for more than 50 years and I am keen to pass on my knowledge to the younger generations, sharing my experience and know-how backstage. My very first role was working in community theatre: and it is fantastic to return to my roots.”
