Alan Thompson Obituary-Death: Sheffield Theatre Community Remembers Photographer

The Sheffield theatre community has a documented connection to photographer Alan Thompson, whose work appears in production archives for Croft House Theatre Company. While the name has been associated with an obituary headline, further verification is needed to establish the details of his reported death and personal life.

Alan Thompson’s Connection to Sheffield Theatre

Alan Thompson is credited as a photographer in the archives of Croft House Theatre Company, an amateur theatre organisation with a long history in Sheffield.

The company’s online production records list Thompson among the photographers who contributed images of theatrical performances. His name appears in the archive for the 2023 production of Kinky Boots, alongside other photographers who documented the show.

Theatre photography helps preserve the history of stage productions by capturing performers, costumes, scenes and moments that audiences might otherwise remember only from attending a performance. Photographic archives also allow theatre companies to share their work with wider audiences and maintain records of their creative activities.

Thompson’s inclusion in these records establishes a connection to Sheffield’s theatre photography, although the available material does not provide a complete account of his career or personal contributions.

What Is Known About His Reported Death?

A headline describes Alan Thompson’s obituary and refers to the Sheffield theatre community remembering the photographer. However, the sources reviewed did not establish a matching official death announcement or reliably confirm the circumstances of his passing.

His date of death, age, cause of death and place of death therefore remain unconfirmed in this report. It would be inappropriate to attribute a medical condition, accident or other circumstances to his death without reliable supporting information.

There may also be other people with the same name. An obituary or funeral notice should be matched to the photographer’s identity before personal details are published.

A Photographic Record of Theatre Productions

The Croft House Theatre Company archive provides evidence of Thompson’s involvement in documenting local productions. The company’s online gallery and production pages preserve photographic credits and material connected to its performances.

Although these records offer a starting point for understanding his professional or creative association with the theatre, they do not establish his complete employment history, length of service or the wider extent of his photography work.

Further details from colleagues, theatre organisations, family members or an official obituary could help provide a fuller account of his life and contribution.
