ANDREW Lister is the new manager at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre.
The 27-year-old, originally from Liverpool, will be undertaking the day to day running of the theatre while general manager Ted Doan remains in charge.
Andrew said: "It is a good move for me. I was in Oxford at the Apollo a few years ago and have family and friends here.''
It is thanks to Ted that Andrew is now in theatre management. "Ted interviewed me for a front of house usher's job 10 years ago in Torquay when I was at university,'' said Andrew. He got the job, finished his degree and went into theatre management.
Andrew has since been posted to theatres in Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester and Sunderland. He says he is looking forward to the Summer Youth Project at the Wyvern and having a hands-on approach to management.
