The StageLync Podcast with Andy Packer
For more than 20 years, Andy Packer has been shaping bold, visually rich theatre for young audiences and families as the artistic director of Slingsby Theatre Company. His work blends storytelling, music, and design to explore complex themes like identity, belonging, and hope without losing a sense of wonder.

In this episode of the StageLync Podcast, Andy reflects on Slingsby’s international touring journey, its collaborative creative process, and the challenges of balancing artistic ambition with sustainability. He also discusses the company’s innovative new touring model and how theatre can help audiences, especially young people, make sense of a changing world.
