Fiona is new to Gloucester Stage but is returning to her theatrical roots which were planted in London, England in the late 1970s.  A few years later, she was working on the production side of the camera for Thames Television when she and her husband moved to Tucson, Arizona – a slight case of culture shock! Next stop – Connecticut, where she started producing her own plays at her daughters’ Montessori school. The family found their ideal surroundings on the North Shore 23 years ago.  She has taught English as a second language and trained others to teach English in Boston, where she and her husband are regular theatergoers – as well as at Gloucester Stage.  She has run after-school drama programs and has assisted in productions at Brookwood school.  Most recently, she worked in the Education department of the Cape Ann Museum.  She is looking forward to connecting with Gloucester Stage patrons and volunteers.
