Hannah Dersley

Hannah joined the Churchill Theatre as a casual Front of House staff member in September 2013, before being promoted to Front of House Team Leader a year later in September 2014. After two years working with the Front of House team, Hannah moved across to work with the Box Office team in September 2015, working initially as a casual member of staff before becoming full time in December 2016. After working in Box Office for three and a half years, and at the theatre for five and a half years overall, Hannah was promoted to the role of Deputy Box Office Manager in April 2019. 

Hannah says, "It’s great working at the Churchill - there’s lots that goes into putting on a show and it’s great to be a part of that. Having the experience of working both Front of House and in the Box Office over a five year period has really helped me in my role now as Deputy Box Office Manager. The theatre has been supportive in allowing me to progress and take on new responsibilities; you can experience a lot of variety when working at the Churchill."

I love the diversity of both the shows and our audience and am lucky enough to work with a wonderful team of people. There is something different going on every day and I am now fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity of organising our very popular and successful themed dining events".
