Plymouth & District Methodist Church 

​Performing Arts Mission Enabler (PAME) 

Anne Middleton

​Performing Arts Mission is a new initiative of the Plymouth and Devonport Methodist Circuit, bringing churches together for creative mission and community. In January 2020, Anne Middleton was employed as the Performing Arts Mission Enabler(PAME) to launch this pioneer ministry. Anne created the PAM logo – a spotlight on the cross – because she is passionate about the power of theatre and the arts to touch the soul and transform lives, with the message of the hope we have in Jesus.

 Anne’s background is theatre and therapy – she has a degree in Drama and English and an MA in Dramatherapy.  Anne began working as a professional actress in a Christian context over thirty years ago. She performed at many Christian events, including Easter People, and worked as part of the team at the Lantern Arts Centre for many years.  Anne has also worked for several theatre companies and has performed in hundreds of schools doing Theatre in Education.  As well as creating her own material, Anne loves to collaborate with and support other creatives in their ministries.

The plans for ‘live’ theatre and creative projects have obviously changed due to the current situation, but there are several large productions in the pipeline as well as the launch of Hope Theatre Café (HTC) – a professional venue for Christian performers – when we are able to get up and running again.
