Call Out for Director – Hansel and Gretel

We’re seeking an East Midlands or Midlands director to direct our family show Hansel and Gretel. Every Christmas, Nottingham Playhouse produces a family show aimed at children aged 3-8 in the Neville Studio. The production then tours to primary schools, libraries and other community settings in the region. We are very proud that this production provides a vital experience for younger children, many visiting a theatre for the first time. It is a core part of our Christmas programme and has been building a reputation year on year. For 2023/24, we are producing Hansel and Gretel and we’re seeking an East Midlands or Midlands director. The composer and writer will also be commissioned via an open callout and the designer will be the winner of the Nottingham Trent University Playhouse Prize. Nottingham Playhouse is committed to a policy of equality of opportunity and working with people representative of the diverse communities we work with. We actively encourage submissions from Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Disabled people. Nottingham Playhouse is part of the Parents in Performing Arts (PIPA) campaign and welcomes submissions from people who have caring responsibilities.
