It is an exciting time to join Park Theatre as we head into our 12th year, following a business plan which clearly determines our direction of travel. Within this we have pledged to produce more in-house shows, grow our staff team, develop stronger and more diverse income streams and greater financial resilience, and support greater diversity within our programming, staff and audiences. We’ve already begun to deliver on this through our work on stage and off.
To support these ambitions, we are looking to make a new appointment into the role of Producer & Programmer. Reporting to the Artistic Director and working closely with the Executive Director, you will support the development, planning and delivery of an ambitious, diverse and creative suite of shows across both our theatre spaces.
You will take the lead on producing in-house shows, including all co-productions, working closely with each director and co-producers on all aspects of the show, including assembling and contracting the team, pastoral care for companies, creative and production teams, and ensuring the financial return expected from a production by managing the budget. With the Artistic and Executive Directors, you’ll manage partnerships and co-producing relationships.
You’ll also collaborate closely with the Artistic Director and team to prioritise and assess the scripts and submissions Park Theatre receives, and the programming of external productions in both Park200 and Park90. Working with the General Manager on deal negotiations and ensuring each visiting production is hosted with the same care and consideration, you’ll be the glue that holds our artistic programme together.
You’ll love high quality drama, be passionate about finding new talent and committed to giving a platform to the voices and stories that need it. You’ll be warm and confident in your communication, accurate with your numbers and keen to collaborate. In return we can promise a dynamic working environment where ideas are welcomed, and successes are celebrated. You’ll have a direct impact on the work that Park Theatre does and be able to help us shape our future.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is looking to make the next step in their producing career, is prepared to grow in the role and enjoys working in-house at an ambitious mid-scale venue. If this proposal excites you, we would love to hear from you.
