UK - The Workshop Theatre at the National Youth Theatre (NYT) on Holloway Road in North London will hold a celebration of Brian Croft's life on 8 April 2025. The event, intended for all friends, family and colleagues who wish to pay their respects and remember the immense contribution that Croft made to so many in the events industry, will begin promptly at 5pm, with doors opening at 4.30pm.
A statement from the event’s organisers reads: “From the early days at school, his formal training in stage management at the Bristol Old Vic theatre school, the birth of the NYT, opening the new ICA gallery in the Mall, performing liquid light shows and taking his entire family on tour with the Rolling Stones during the pioneering ESP Lighting era, Brian left an indelible and lingering presence everywhere he went, not just in the UK, but through Europe, rolling out Vari-Lite throughout the continent, and finally back to the NYT as a trustee and continuing his support of the world of theatre by being a theatre angel.”
