We say Farewell Centre Director Stevi

The end of our Summer term marks the end of Stevi Pharoah’s time with Theatretrain! She’s been involved since Theatretrain first started when her daughters went along to the first day over 27 years ago! She then went on to open Theatretrain Basildon (which she later sold) and took on Theatretrain Ilford.

“I’m so super proud of her and what’s she achieved! It may be time to say goodbye to Saturday mornings but I’m sure you’ll see her around at the shows. TT really are a family, and the friendships made over the passed 20 years are still going strong. Love you mum! Have a great last day and a smashing last show! Go out with a bang!!”

Dominique – Daughter

Theatretrain Ilford is being taken over by Karina who also runs Theatretrain Southampton and Theatretrain Braintree so will be in good hands
