In last months magazine I told you that my preferred method of retiring was to continue through 2010 (membership willing) whilst appointing a PSC chairman who would stand for election as Artistic Director at the 2010 AGM.

There were two candidates and one graciously stepped down in favour of the other. It therefore gives me great pleasure to announce that Michelle Hood will be the PSC chairman responsible for selecting the 2011 programme. It is my hope that Michelle will go on to be elected Artistic Director at the end of 2010, when she will take on both roles.

I’m making this announcement now so Michelle has time to get her team together. If you would like to join her in the fascinating and important task of reading play submissions from TTC directors, please contact Michelle. Michelle's contact information can be found in the Members Chat area (available after you have logged in).
