It is with gratitude for her dedication to our community that the Conseil d'administration<\/a> announces Lesley Bramhill\u2019s departure from her position as the Managing Director of Playwrights\u2019 Workshop Montr\u00e9al.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe announcement of Lesley\u2019s departure leaves us with many emotions: the sadness to see her go, the gratitude for her continuous work at PWM and commitment to the arts, as much as the excitement for her as she starts a new amazing opportunity.\u201d<\/em> – Tiffanie Guffroy, Treasurer of PWM <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesley stepped into the role of General Manager with PWM in 2016. Collaborating with former Executive and Artistic Director Emma Tibaldo, Lesley impacted PWM\u2019s sphere greatly. Her accomplishments include helping to move the organization into its location at 7250 Clark, helping to double the organization\u2019s operating budget, and collaborating on expanding PWM\u2019s programming and operations. She also collaborated with her colleagues in arts advocacy in Quebec and Montreal to help advance the English language arts sector.  In 2019, she was awarded the Unsung Hero of the Theatre award at the META\u2019s<\/a>, specifically for this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you. Over the last five and a half years, I have learned so much from PWM\u2019s staff, board, artists and community. I am really excited for my next adventure, and will miss all of you dearly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an honour to help grow PWM to where it is today, and I am proud of the new co-leadership model I am leaving behind. I know the organization\u2019s future is strong, with our current board, staff and Sarah\u2019s leadership in place. \u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, after five years as the General Manager at Playwrights’ Workshop Montr\u00e9al, Lesley was appointed Managing Director, creating the first co-leadership team with Artistic Director Fatma Sarah Elkashef. On Lesley\u2019s time at PWM, Sarah notes that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLesley’s work has helped transform PWM in profound ways over the past 5.5 years. I am sad to see my co-leader go but very grateful to her and the Board for creating this new dynamic structure for PWM. Lesley’s positive impact will be felt for a long time to come. We will miss you and wish you all good things, Lesley<\/em>!\u201d   -Fatma Sarah Elkashef, Artistic Director of PWM. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesley\u2019s presence, leadership, and passion will be deeply missed by her colleagues, our Board of Directors, and the Montr\u00e9al theatre community as a whole. We would like to extend the warmest thank you to Lesley for her role in advancing artistic practice at PWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesley\u2019s last day at PWM is on February 18, 2022<\/strong>. Our team and board are already working towards the recruitment of a new Managing Director<\/a>, who will work alongside Fatma Sarah Elkashef. We are confident that this new chapter for PWM will be fruitful and are excited for the artistic collaborations and creations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
