Stephen Hayward (Theatre Director)
I'm at the beginning of my journey in this role, and am enjoying learning about all aspects of our wonderful theatre and how it runs. I'm passionate about the opportunities it provides for our community and I want to make these safe and fulfilling for everyone who volunteers. I would like to continue to put my theatre management experience, strong and proactive work ethic and people management skills to use in this role. I have theatre management experience from my training and subsequent work at Mountview, the Catford Broadway, and now The Actors Church. I have also volunteered in several of the teams at SLT and been on the executive team for two years.
Gareth Milton (Commercial Director)
I have been a director of South London Theatre Centre since 2020. I was seconded onto the General Council in 2018, prior to becoming a director, when I took over the role of Box Office manager. I was also part of the group that worked to re-establish the governance of SLTC and BPT following the issues that BPT faced in 2023. My work background is in project and programme management and I like to see a clear structure and documented processes. Since becoming Commercial Director I have worked to establish processes and prioritisation for the work that inevitably comes with the maintenance of a heritage building, whilst at the same time supporting the theatre by working with the Front of House and Box Office teams.
Kelly Q (Ordinary Director)
My interest in the trustee role comes from a genuine commitment to South London Theatre as both an artistic home and a community organisation. As an Assistant Director and part of the Shorts producing team, I’ve seen first‑hand how SLT supports emerging artists, local audiences, and volunteers.
I’m developing in theatre programming and multi‑arts work, and I’m increasingly drawn to the strategic side of how organisations function. A trustee role feels like the right next step: a way to contribute to the bigger picture while building governance experience.
In my role as a Theatre Programming Assistant, I coordinate multi‑arts activity, support local and emerging artists, and help shape programming that balances artistic ambition with practical delivery. I also bring over twenty years of Arts and Entertainment TV experience, with strengths in project management, talent support, problem‑solving, and championing diverse storytelling.
Overall, I offer creative insight, operational experience, and a thoughtful, collaborative approach to SLT’s future. I'd love to support its long-term direction, and continued role as a welcoming, ambitious, community driven organisation.
