Ella Jarvis
Co-founder
Ella is a young and dynamic creative with a background in acting, production, casting, film and theatre. She trained at the prestigious Oxford School of Drama where she developed her deep-rooted passion for storytelling. Ella has gained a broad perspective of the industry, working with casting directors and at a talent agency, both of which helped her cultivate a keen eye for emerging talent and a nuanced understanding of performance. She began her journey to production by working on film sets as a runner, before progressing to 3rd Assistant Director, and eventually bringing her creative insight and logistical acumen to the role of associate producer in a screen production company.
Ella drew on this experience to successfully produce Parkhouse's first production 'Artificially Yours' starring television icon Leslie Ash (Men Behaving Badly, Quadrophenia), which obtained five star reviews from its sold out run at Riverside Studios. Ella is proud to be the cofounder of Parkhouse Theatres and consistently brings a strong narrative instinct and collaborative spirit to every project she works on.
Aaron Thakar
Co-founder
Aaron is a dynamic force in contemporary theatre, bringing a rare combination of sharp creative vision and industry experience to Parkhouse Theatres. His early career in theatre marketing and Assistant Stage Managing in the West End honed his instinct for audience engagement and storytelling. This comprehensive understanding of what truly brings a show to life only assisted Aaron as a writer, director and producer in his future productions. As a writer, Aaron quickly made waves; he has a passion for creating wickedly comic dramas with snappy dialogue and devastating twists. His debut script, Artificially Yours was met with rave reviews from both critics and audiences alike, selling out its entire run and marking Aaron as a playwright to watch.
He followed this success with Under The Table, a daring and boundary-pushing piece that redefined expectations of modern theatre. The show earned Aaron the label “a master of his craft” and was celebrated with a Standing Ovation Award nomination, accompanied by a string of glowing five-star reviews. With a bold voice and a flair for the unexpected, Aaron aspires for Parkhouse’s productions to continue to shape thrilling theatrical experiences that leave audiences laughing, gasping and always wanting more.
