Producer Grace started her Career with a bang with a sellout run at the Edinburgh fringe 2023 and it is safe to say she has been bitten by the production bug!
With an appreciation for all things written, her sharp applications and way with words have secured her successes such as the phoebe waller-bridge award for the 2023 edinburgh fringe.
A performer herself, grace has extensive knowledge of each side of the theatrical coin, with leading roles in sondheim’s ‘company’ (2022) at the Winston theatre and ‘Carrie’ (2024) at the Loco Klub. Working previously with the Royal exchange theatre manchester, as well as producing for the white bear theatre in london, grace’s experience spans the uk and she looks forward to further growth.

Empty Kitchens, Full (Frontal) Hearts
it’s no secret that ‘to watch a man eat’ requires some serious scran.

in a bid to offset some of this waste, we partnered up with the fabulous team at empty kitchens, full hearts, an edinburgh based organisation that turns surplus food into meals for those who need them.
we are proud to have raised
£210.10
PROVIDING 70 days worth of food guaranteed to someone living in poverty
