Our Production team
Chris Dilley
Co Producer / Artistic Director
Chris grew up in Norfolk and qualified as a History Teacher, before moving to London and achieving a place at the prestigious London School of Musical Theatre. After graduating, Chris landed the role of “Levi” and the “Baker” in Bill Kenwright’s national tour production of “Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat”, touring for over two years.On returning to Norfolk, Chris completed his teacher training and has taught Drama, History and English in local schools across Norfolk. In 2015, Chris began his directing career with a school production of “Little Shop of Horrors”.
From there, Chris was employed to direct a range of Amateur and Youth Theatre shows across the county, as well as co-writing and producing a brand new musical “Sicarius”, which premiered in Norwich in 2018. In that same year, Chris and his long term friend, Sarah Pryde, were given the opportunity to produce a new show in Madeira, a collaboration with Teresa Gedge and MADS.
This gave Chris the chance to successfully direct his first professional show. This show – “The Show Must Go On”, has since evolved and toured the country – from Norwich to Edinburgh, with last year being the greatest of them all, with a run that saw the show perform at the Edinburgh Fringe and then “The Other Palace”, London!
