Much of his career has been working with some of the world’s largest and most prestigious marketers in the world’s largest advertising agencies.

He has been actively involved in many aspects of the theater since 1980 when he joined the London chapter of Variety Club, the international show business charity for handicapped and underprivileged children. Adrian performed in a huge variety of leading and ensemble roles in London’s West End and in regional America with amateur and professional actors. “I am especially pleased to become part of the exciting period of The Players’ development. I’m confident that my association with theater and strategic planning for over 30 years will be valuable to the Board and the whole team. I’m very much looking forward to the opening night of the new theater,” said Fox.
