About the role

Cornerstone Theatre is an exciting new community theatre, cultural events venue and arts centre in Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. Its programme will combine local community performances and events alongside a vibrant developing schedule of professionally programmed events from the worlds of theatre, drama, performance, music, tribute bands, exhibitions, comedy, film, children’s and family events, variety acts and more.

A theatre manager is needed to oversee the establishment and ongoing commercial sustainability of this project. The position will include responsibility for the operational functions of Cornerstone, as well as liaison with programmers, promoters, artists, and local community groups to ensure the ongoing development and expansion of the programme so that it meets the needs of all elements of the local and wider community.

The role will also involve close liaison with the Academy and the Trust because the theatre is located and integrated within the secondary school.
