MEET THE TEAM
NUTS is defined by the wonderful people in the theatre community. As your exec we aim to represent you and provide the opportunities that you, our members, want to see. Our inbox is always open for any questions, suggestions or feedback you may have. Get in touch via the 'Contact us page'.
Artistic Director
Emily Austin
My name is Emily, I'm studying Arts/Law, and I'm your AD for this year.
I am inspired by all kinds of theatre and the people who create it. I particularly love seeing all the elements come together to create something magical. When I'm not helping out with crew or directing, you're most likely to see me in Kambri buying a sweet treat in between classes or rehearsals. I am so proud to be your AD, and can't wait to see new voices and ideas championed this year!
Secretary
Steph Evans
I'm Steph! I'm in my second year studying Arts/Law, and I'm the Secretary for NUTS 2023!
I love farces and am currently really
inspired by Neil Simon's plays and The Play
That Goes Wrong. You're most likely to see me in Kambri stage managing, producing or directing - so running around trying to get the show ready in time! I always bring a massive tub of lollies for the team to get through show week
Treasurer
Max Collingwood
My name is Max, I'm studying law, and I'm the NUTS Treasurer this year.
My biggest theatre inspiration is my grandma who used to drag me around to her theatres and rehearsals as a kid. In Kambri, you're most likely to see me giving theatre a go myself OR eating something yummy from Kebaba
Head of Stagecraft
Ro McPhee
My name is Ro, I've just finished my Honours in Anthropology, and I'm the Head of Stagecraft for NUTS this year:)
During show weeks, you're most likely to see me sharing snacks and chatting behind the tech desk. I've also moved into our theatre store room. My goal this year is to make sure that if you come looking, the store room will be clean enough for you to find me! I am really inspired by the people who do stagecraft for all of the big professional shows - there are so many moving parts!
Co-Head of Membership Engagement
Annabelle Hansen
I'm Annabelle, I'm studying languages and linguistics, and I am the other half of the Membership Engagement team this year!
You'll most likely see me in Kambri having a nap or two in between (or during) rehearsals. My biggest theatre inspirations are Ian Mckellen and Andrew Scott! I also definitely do theatre for the people - come meet us and engage in NUTS this year!
Co-Head of Membership Engagement
Paris Scharkie
My name is Paris and I have never been more ready to engage the members of NUTS.
When I'm not throwing frisbees at strangers in Kambri, I'm studying to become unemployab- I mean... I'm studying music! I am huge fan of all things shakesoc , especially when they put on those plays written by Shakespeare.
Come along to our events this year!
They'll be NUTS!
Head of Publicity
Chloe Tyrrell
My name is Chloe! I'm a 2nd year studying polisci and arts, and I'm the Head of Publicity for NUTS!
You're most likely to see me in Kambri
either falling asleep in a politics lecture or
impersonating Michael Caine with our
AD Emily. I am largely inspired by
Monty Python and Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell! I am very excited to exploit my Canva and instagram priveledges this year (#anugoesnuts), and watch another season of amazing shows!
