Manisha Sondhi

she/her

I'm a director centrally, although I also write and work in costume.
I'm drawn to stories that move away from the traditional and love to play with the form that theatre can take. I am the Artistic Director of the City Lighthouse Theatre Company, with which I am currently directing 'Concha' for the Oregon Fringe Festival and 'The Sun Will Rise' at the Etcetera Theatre, Camden.
