Are you Wicked?  Job opportunities + work experience with Wicked Theatre and the Ovid Project

We are pleased to announce the creation of seven new roles within Wicked Theatre: an Associate Producer, a Fundraising Manager, a PR and Marketing Assistant, a Webmaster, an Events Manager, an Education Officer and an Administrator.  Click here for more information. 

They are all part-time, voluntary (for now!) positions, that will give you space to express yourself creatively, gain valuable experience, and build on the skills you already have.  We can provide all the training you need to fulfil the role.  We ask that you give around 5 hours a week to this, attend the fortnightly meetings, and have access to a computer, high-speed internet, and mobile phone. 

Experience not always necessary, and some of these roles would be great for an actor wanting to establish themselves in a company, and we will guarantee you an audition for all our shows.  If you just want to get involved on a casual basis, we also offer Work Experience around your schedule.  To apply for any of these positions please email your CV and note saying what makes you wicked, to wickedpeople@wickedtheatre.com

On September 30th, 10 actors, 10 writers, 2 DJs, a rock band, and the entire Wicked team gathered in the Large Rehearsal Room of The Old Vic for a reahearsed reading of the first draft of The Ovid Project: Metamorphoses.
