About Liz Richardson productions
Founded by Liz, LR Productions was born out of the want to collaborate with other north-west creatives from different mediums and practices, with a producing hat on, allowing collaborative ongoing projects which focus on creating and telling stories about and around community.
LR Productions has worked with the National Trust, Wellcome Collective, imPOSSIBLE Producing, We Are TEAM and the Outdoor Swimming Society.
Liz originally trained as an actor and has a BA Honours in Acting from East 15 Acting School, London. She has since moved back to the North West.
Whilst living in London, Liz was an active member of actor-led, improvisational theatre company The Factory, creating & performing widely, including at The Globe, Southwark Playhouse, Soho Theatre, Hampstead Theatre and on BBC radio.
Liz dabbled with stand-up comedy and enjoyed notable success as a semi-finalist in Soho Theatre’s Comedy Competition, from which she was invited to appear with Amused Moose (BBC) and at The Hackney Empire alongside Jenny Eclair.
Liz was a supported artist at HOME Manchester, where she also opened and ran the regular engagement strand Mothers Who Make, a national initiative offering peer to peer support for artist-mothers of any discipline.
Liz also works freelance in primary schools teaching drama and is currently designing a teaching programme, funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation, to help facilitate accessing creative writing within the teaching curriculum.
