Rob Cann

Theatre Director

Hello.
With twenty years of working in youth theatres across Surrey, I am passionate about giving young people the opportunity to learn through performance. Creator of Mis-Shapen Chaos Theatre Company, our aim is to produce three professional shows a year to showcase young local talent. I am keen to broaden my skills and enjoy the challenges that directing and producing can bring.
My preferred pronoun is 'ours' as I am always keen to explore the power the ensemble can bring.
