Would you like to play a part in the future of the unique and internationally-renowned Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre?
Established in 1932, the multi-award-winning Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is one of the largest theatres in the capital (at a capacity of 1,304), and has a worldwide reputation for producing high quality, ambitious and accessible theatre at scale, both in our magical outdoor central London setting and beyond on tour. In 2024 we welcomed over 180,000 people to our 27-week summer season. Our 2016 revival of Jesus Christ Superstar is currently touring Australia, and our 2024 revival of Fiddler on the Roof recently transferred to the Barbican Centre ahead of a tour of UK and Ireland. Over the last 15 years, we have won over 25 major awards. As a registered charity that receives no regular public subsidy, 65% of our income is currently generated from ticket sales.
We are at an incredibly exciting time in the Open Air Theatre’s history having recently opened Drew McOnie’s first season as Artistic Director off the back of a record-breaking 2024 and 3 wins – including Best Musical Revival – at this year’s Olivier Awards. Arguably, there could not be a better time to join the organisation’s Board.
We’re looking to recruit up to 5 new Trustees, including a Chair, to support us on our next chapter of growth and development. We’d like to hear from applicants from a range of backgrounds, perspectives, identities and lived experiences, and are also particularly keen to hear from those with skills in any of the following areas:
- Arts Management
- Corporate & Commercial
- Digital & Broadcast
- Food, Beverage & Hospitality
- Fundraising
- Marketing & Communications
If you would like to apply, please download the Chair & Trustee Recruitment Pack below or from our website here, and send your completed application to jobs@openairtheatre.com by no later than 5pm on Tuesday 15 July 2025. Interviews are currently scheduled to take place either in person or via video call during the weeks commencing 21 & 28 July 2025.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.
