40 Profiles: Jane Hall, Development Manager

As part of our 40th Birthday celebrations, you can explore what really goes on behind the scenes of a producing theatre as we profile 40 of our staff members throughout the year. From Box Office staff to backstage, you'll meet the people that keep Northern Stage running every day.

Next is Jane Hall, Development Manager

What does your job involve?

Raising funds to support Northern Stage’s ambitious programme of shows and participation projects.

What is your favourite part of your job?

I love the variety and the ability to manage my own time. Every day is different, I could be organising a big fundraising event, writing a sponsorship proposal, meeting a prospective supporter, or researching new sources of funding.
What is your favourite part of the theatre?

L20 and L21 (my children have their names on those seats).

What are you most looking forward to in Northern Stage's birthday year?

Loads! Top three at the moment are the Annual Dinner, Oh What a Lovely War and the Summer Fete.

Would you rather have a Birthday cake or a Birthday present?

I’ll take the cash please!
