SURANNE JONES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

wants to promote small theatres <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

notes Norman Warwick    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actor Suranne Jones has said she wants to “promote small theatres and small stories” as part of her role as president of a small seaside venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage and screen star – best known for Vigil, Gentleman Jack and Doctor Foster – took on the honorary role at Sheringham Little Theatre in Norfolk in February.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was approached by the theatre after they noticed she was a regular visitor with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since taking on the role, she has also taken part in youth workshops (left)<\/em><\/strong> and praised the quality of the theatre’s work as “sky high”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The actors are brilliant,” she said. “For a little theatre, I just think the quality is sky high.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones urged people to appreciate what was on offer at local theatres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: “I think it’s helping the community and the people who go down the beach – and I know, it’s sunny, you want to go down the beach – but taking those two hours to share stories is a really important part of how we grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’d love us to find a way to promote small theatres, small stories more. That’s my big challenge.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I wanted to be hands-on, I wanted to promote. “I’ve just been helping with the youth group and I wanted to make sure I had time to do it properly,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking part in workshops was a way to “remind myself of the basics. Being with a group of kids or aspiring actors who are really hungry for knowledge gives me a lot, so we are all learning,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s why it’s important to keep doing theatre or to keep being in other creative groups.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evie, 15, who took part in the workshop, said: “I feel like I’m picking up so many valuable acting skills. Suranne is an inspiration. She does so many cool things at the theatre.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
