Garrick targets Midlands artists for two creative opportunities

Lichfield Garrick Theatre is looking for two talented Midlands-based creatives to join the production team for its highly anticipated Christmas season.

The theatre is on the hunt for an experienced theatre designer to work with Shoddy Theatre Company on their show, A Shoddy Nativity, produced by The Production Garden Lt.

They are also looking for an early career theatre director to assist the Garrick's in-house director, Daniel Buckroyd, on the theatre's all-singing-all-dancing pantomime, Robin Hood. 

The successful assistant director will support the smooth running of rehearsals and work with understudies to ensure that the show can always go ahead.

Complementing the Garrick's pantomime, Shoddy Theatre Company and The Production Garden Ltd will be lighting up the venue's Studio once again with A Shoddy Nativity, building on the success of last year’s A Shoddy Christmas Carol which was seen by nearly 5,000 visitors.

The theatre is looking for an experienced theatre designer who can work with the Shoddy team to bring the physical and visual world of this madcap comedy to life.

Lichfield Garrick's CEO and artistic director said: “At Lichfield Garrick, we're passionate about nurturing creative talent from across the Midlands and offering opportunities for regional artists to develop their careers while working on ambitious, high-quality productions at our amazing venue.

“These roles offer the chance to collaborate with experienced creative teams, gain valuable professional experience and contribute to two exciting productions that will entertain thousands this Christmas.”
