Iain Moggach
Iain is the former Artistic Director of Theatre by the Bay, and an award-winning producer, director, and artistic community leader.
​
In his time with TBTB, he increased the operating capacity of the company by 50%, raised $1,000,000 in grant funding in his first four years as AD, and developed the company's first Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan. He also turned TBTB into one of the most-followed arts organizations in Simcoe County on social media, and increased email newsletter sign-ups by 265% in his first 3 years.
​
Over the course of 8 years, Iain also oversaw and shaped the Emerging Director Program, the Barrie Theatre Lab, and the original Indie Producer Co-op. From the proven track record of these initiatives, he piloted the first three years of the Simcoe County Theatre Festival, and expanded the Indie Producer Co-op to the national level, turning the once-summer-co-op into a 3x a year comprehensive training program open to emerging producers in Simcoe County, Southern Ontario, and across Canada.
