As Stratford East celebrates its 140th year we are looking for an exceptional Chair to take over from Dame Margaret Hodge who is stepping down to lead the independent review into Arts Council England. Over the past 7 years Margaret has worked closely with the leadership team and a committed board of Trustees to strengthen the reputation of the theatre, maintain robust financial resources and oversee a strong artistic programme.
Our ideal candidate is an inspirational leader who can ensure the theatre’s long term sustainability, continue to uphold our position as a vibrant civic hub for East London and build on the theatre’s reputation for artistic excellence: delivering high quality, award winning theatre which draws audiences from across London while being rooted in and representing our many local communities.
