Mimi Poskitt Appointed as Senior Producer at the Lyric Hammersmith

The Lyric Hammersmith is pleased to announce that Mimi Poskitt has been appointed Senior Producer at the theatre from Monday 30 April 2018. Mimi joins the Lyric from West Yorkshire Playhouse where she has been Senior Producer for the past three years. She has previously worked as a freelance producer and founded the multi award winning theatre company, Look Left Look Right.

The Senior Producer is a key member of the Lyric's senior management team, working closely with Artistic Director, Sean Holmes and Executive Director, Sian Alexander to programme and produce the Lyric's artistic programme at the Lyric, nationally and internationally.

Sian Alexander, Executive Director at the Lyric Hammersmith said 'We are delighted to welcome Mimi to the Lyric team in this central creative role. We share the same values and ambition for making brilliant work, connecting with our community and championing young talent. We will hugely enjoy working together as we shape an ever more exciting future for the Lyric.'

Mimi Poskitt said 'I've been a huge fan of the Lyric's work for years and I'm thrilled at the prospect of joining the team as Senior Producer. The Lyric epitomises everything I love about theatre. Its work is dynamic and brave yet accessible and popular; it's internationally renowned while being firmly rooted in its community; and it's pioneering, putting young people at its heart and empowering the next generation of artists and makers. These traits are shared by West Yorkshire Playhouse and I leave Leeds with enormous fondness after a transformative three years. To move between two of the most inclusive and innovative producing theatres in the country is a privilege and I look forward to working with Sean, Sian and the whole Lyric team.'
