STAGES with Peter Eyers

'Welcome Aboard!' - Front-of-House Manager, The Ensemble Theatre; James Birch


Listen Later

A visit to the the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney's Kirribilli is generally greeted by the genial presence of James Birch. Either welcoming you into the auditorium or serving a drink from behind the bar, Jim's cheerful demeanour feels like an essential part of the theatre's aesthetic.
In July, Jim celebrates 30 years of service with the Ensemble. He stumbled upon the iconic institution while residing in the neighbourhood. That eventful afternoon has lead to a triumphant run that has seen countless opening nights and celebrated seasons at the theatre. Jim's career commenced in the Navy; a perfect grounding for a life in the theatre and keeping everything ship shape.
He compliments his work at The Ensemble with a passion for visual arts and painting; along with the joys of family.
The famed theatre on the edge of Sydney Harbour, is committed to performing and presenting the best of international plays, well-loved classics and new Australian works. Each season prides itself on delivering powerful, memorable and engaging live theatre of the highest standard.
Founded in 1958, the Ensemble Theatre is the longest continuously running professional theatre in Australia. And Jim Birch is no doubt the longest serving Front-of-House Manager in a theatre in Australia. We'll drink to that!
