We’re an organisation that has a national reputation for work in access and inclusion, for pioneering the actor musician form and we have a huge impact on the public and cultural life of Ipswich and beyond. Our 400-seater midscale auditorium is perfectly formed being both epic and intimate, as such it delivers the most impactful, exhilarating, and stimulating of shows – there’s not a bad seat in the house.

You are organised, motivated with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to inspire and manage the production team. 
 
You can see the big picture and also have an eye for detail.
