Earliest memory of theatre:
Theatre is in my veins. Both my Grandfather and Great Aunt were performers in the Music Hall tradition. My earliest theatre memories take me back to Caryl Jenner’s Unicorn Theatre, which was then housed at The Arts Theatre in London’s West End. I became a regular, utterly mesmerized by the magic, the buzz of excitement, and that unforgettable scent that greeted you as you stepped into the auditorium.
June is responsible for all Go Live Theatre Projects accounts. This includes receiving, allocating and paying invoices.
Earliest memory of theatre: June’s earliest memory of theatre is watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on TV with her family at Christmas and crying when she found out flying cars didn’t really exist. She now drives a pink mini called Truly Scrumptious!
Originally from Leeds, Heather studied Drama at Kingston University London, before heading back to her hometown and working at Northern Ballet in their Learning team.
At Northern Ballet she coordinated a variety of projects for children and young people including the Burberry Inspire project which introduced over 10,000 students across Yorkshire to the arts.
Joining Go Live in 2022, Heather manages our Creative Learning projects and is passionate about introducing young people to the arts and theatre.
Outside of work: Heather can be found making a mess in the kitchen, trying to get others to appreciate the genius of Bob Dylan and cheering on the mighty Leeds United.
Earliest memory of theatre: Heather’s earliest memory of theatre is playing a munchkin in a production of The Wizard of Oz at the Leeds Playhouse with lots of other children from her Friday night dance class!
Robyn graduated from University of Leicester in 2018 and went to work in the Fundraising department at Derby Theatre. She first discovered Go Live as a guest at the 2019 Youth Leadership in the Arts Conference, and joined the team as Marketing and Development Officer after that. After a year working at Frontline, the social work charity, Robyn came back to Go Live to take on the role of Development Manager.
Earliest memory of theatre: Robyn is from Stratford-upon-Avon and most of her earliest theatre memories are of disgruntled trips to see Shakespeare plays at the RSC (which she has come to appreciate later in life!). She did however enjoy regularly renting Cats from the library on VCR.

Earliest memory of theatre: One of his earliest memories of theatre is watching a Greek production of The King and I and being super impressed by the production values, the sets and costumes, as well as the amount of kids involved in the show.
