TP PATRONS
“I had energy but I didn’t know how to define it, I loved to be in school plays but I never knew there were other kids like me from South London who loved the same thing. At Theatre Peckham I met people like me, from my area, who were not afraid to say “I love art, and I love expressing myself”.
John Boyega
John is a Theatre Peckham alumnus. He joined in 2001 from local Oliver Goldsmith Primary School. Today he’s a Golden Globe Award winner and a BAFTA Rising Star. In January 2020, John unveiled our mural dedicated to him, created by street artist The Artful Dodger. It pays tribute to Theatre Peckham’s past and is an inspiration for all young people who walk through our doors.
Jenny lives locally and had heard of Theatre Peckham and thought it would be good to introduce herself and come and see some of our work. For the past few years, Jenny has been a strong advocate of our work and is keen to ensure the future of TP for her local community.
Paulette Randall MBE is a British theatre director, born in Brixton. She is the former artistic director of the Talawa Theatre Company and produced the much-loved TV comedy Desmond’s, set in Peckham.
Paulette came to our 30yr celebration of Desmond’s last January and wanted to support the work we do with young people and connect them to the industry.
Our diverse TP team features staff from many different backgrounds who are united by a shared love of the message and purpose of Theatre Peckham.
