Call-Out for Director – The Ugly Duckling

We are seeking an East Midlands or Midlands-based Director for our family show, The Ugly Duckling, in 2024/25. 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 2024/25, we are producing The Ugly Duckling and we’re seeking an East Midlands or Midlands-based Director. We are looking for a professional director who has experience of working with professional performers as either a lead artist or assistant. The Composer and Writer will also be commissioned via an open callout. The show will be produced in the Neville Studio and then tour to primary schools and libraries in the region.
