Nonsuch Studios' flexible 100-seat theatre space, will now be programmed by Jake Orr alongside Artistic Director & CEO, Edward Boott, who founded the theatre company behind Nonsuch Studios in 2013.

The venues latest season already sees a step-change post-Covid in supporting work from the best of the fringe (Potatohead, HOT IN HERE, Some Other Mirror), revolutionary early years performances (CABABARAVE, Drag Queen Story Hour UK), as well as improv comedy, drag-along film screenings and monthly events for local artists and creatives.

Jake Orr says:

"I am delighted to be joining the Nonsuch Studios team. I've long admired the organisation's commitment to artists and communities of Nottingham. Nonsuch Studios has so much potential in offering an alternative cultural provision for the city and the artists that are being fostered here. We have big plans for developing Nonsuch Studio's programming to bring the best artists working across the UK and further afield to the audiences of Nottingham and I can't wait to be presenting our revamped programme in the coming months."

Edward Boott, Artistic Director & CEO of Nonsuch Studios says:

"Everyone at Nonsuch Studios is thrilled to be welcoming Jake Orr to our team. As a venue that opened just before Covid, throughout the majority of the past three years our ability to programme work has been heavily restricted. Moving forward, with Jake at the heart of our programming team, we're incredibly excited to finally begin to realise our ambitions of bringing the best fringe work, new writing and locally produced theatre & performance to the audiences of Nottingham.

Jake brings such a wealth of experience of the sector and a real passion to embed his knowledge and expertise locally with our audiences, communities and artists."
