Job Description
The Resident Director is a full-time role, supporting the Tour Director, Associate Director and wider creative team. Their role is to maintain the creative vision and artistic standard of the production in conjunction with the other members of the Resident Team, throughout the UK Tour. Due to the unique nature of the production, the number of children involved, and the intense training that they undertake - the Billy's in particular - we rehearse every day of the week. It is important that applicants understand that this is not a Resident Director job that involves a couple of show-watches and notes sessions a week. It is far more involved, and includes a significant amount of time working with the children that play the principal roles every day.
