HELLO!
I'm Sarah Arden
I’m a General Manager and Producer working across UK touring, international transfers and new creative development. I’m part of Jonathan Church Theatre Productions, where I am currently leading on the first UK and Ireland tour and West End return of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, adapted by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Bartlett Sher, , alongside a growing slate of productions and projects in development.
I previously worked very closely with the late Paul Elliott, delivering major UK–Canada transfers for Mirvish in collaboration with Producers including Michael Harrison Entertainment, Crossroads Live, ROYO, Melting Pot and JCTP. My wider touring experience includes Barber Shop Chronicles (Fuel/National Theatre/Leeds Playhouse), Touching the Void, and three UK tours of In the Night Garden Live.
Alongside my producing and general management work, I’m a partner in Datum, helping shape the company’s evolution into a full production support hub providing carpenters, production managers, workshop services, storage and rentals at Datum Hub.
I’m a also member of The League of Independent Producers and a former recipient of the Stage One Bursary.
