About the organisation
Landmark Theatres, born from Selladoor Venues is a portfolio of regional venues in North Devon and Peterborough receiving a wide variety of arts and cultural opportunities for local communities including major touring productions, high-profile live music acts, big-name standup comedy, dance, superb theatre and new writing. We also produce high-quality Theatre, Drama and Family productions including our annual family Pantomime in Peterborough.
We pride ourselves on an in-depth understanding of the locations in which we operate, working in areas of lower cultural engagement across the UK.
We are respecting and responsive to local priorities, deliver innovation and work in partnership to empowering our communities.
We deliver a breadth of creative activities and ways in which our communities can engage whether that be as an audience member, participant, decision maker or through developing talent.
About the role
Landmark Theatres is looking for directors who will become trustees as we transition to charity status in 2024. We are seeking exceptional individuals from a broad range of backgrounds who will bring relevant insight, skill and experience to support us in delivering the highest quality theatre by, for and with the widest demographic in the least engaged places in England. Currently operating 4 theatres in Devon and Peterborough, and the largest new entrant to the Arts Council National Portfolio in 2023, Landmark Theatres has ambitious plans for growth nationally.
We are looking to recruit several new trustees who share our passion for theatre and are particularly interested in hearing from people with Finance experience and those who can bring a richer diversity of lived experience and age to the board.
