Drama Specialist

We are seeking somebody in the Shrewsbury area or nearby with specialism in drama or performance studies to direct a new musical, The Group. This musical is all about disability and the lives of people with disability in a support group. They would need to be available Sunday afternoons 3:00pm and be able to travel to the Sundorne area of Shrewsbury.  

We particularly hope to recruit somebody who is familiar with and sympathetic towards people with autism and other disabilities, who can share our vision and support all our service users to work towards being the best that they can be. This post would also be useful for somebody stuyding a performance related course wanting to gain experience of working on a production, or somebody seeking experience of working with people with Autism or disabilities. 

Rehearsals will initially take place once per week in an evening at our centre at the Impact Studios, Sundorne.  However, this may need to increase nearer the final performance according to availability. They would need to be able to familiarise themselves with and gain an understanding of the content of the musical, and be able to adapt this to the needs and capabilities of our cast and ensemble as necessary.  

This is an unpaid position.
