Writer Jimmy Fox

Director Terry Hooper

ITC Crossfade Productions

The newly rekindled Crossfade Productions is back with a bang, creating new, interesting theatre which isn’t interested in being nice. Creative director, Terry Hooper’s goal is to create work which pushes our casts and crews to grow as practitioners while creating something meaningful for our audiences. Our first show the critically acclaimed Not About Heroes succeeded, achieving all these core principles. We then spent the last few years producing Gary Henderson writer’s course; where as a team we have brought to life over 35 original, developing pieces. Outside of Crossfade, we love to collaborate together using many different hats.

It will be our earnest endeavor to produce theatre for the audience that speaks about their dreams, needs, and imagination. We would like to thrive on creativity; having something to say and uncover human behaviour.
