Meet The Team

President
Ruth Yeatman
Ruth’s first professional job was in the ABC Record Library in Adelaide, cataloguing music and supporting programmers. At night she trained as a script assistant for ABC TV’s,’This Day Tonight’. She went on to spend the next 35 years in professional theatre in different parts of the country in various roles from stage manager to executive producer, and latterly as artist’s manager. She spent 15 years with The Australian Opera in a number of roles, the last being Company Manager, and in 1990 she entered the freelance world, accepting the role of executive and associate producer with Jim Sharman’s ‘Chess the Musical’ at Sydney’s Theatre Royal.
Later, her freelance career led her back into Radio where she and another theatre practitioner were invited to revitalise ‘Arts on Radio’ nationally for
ABC FM and Radio National. When this project was completed Ruth worked for International Arts Festivals, and continued her work representing a composer and a choreographer which led her to Melbourne to take over managing an Artist Management Company.
Ruth has been presenting a monthly EarthChat program and is delighted to be back in radio again, a medium she feels is especially important in these times.
