The search is on for new Trustees to work with one of the UK's oldest and most respected Arts organisations. York Theatre Royal are going all out to be bold and ambitious – innovating with their own produced work, commissioning some of the best dance companies in the country and giving a warm welcome to an exciting range of touring productions.

This all sits alongside the theatre's longstanding commitment to the community. Through their Creative Engagement work and with partners across the city, York Theatre Royal offer an increasingly wide and diverse range of projects and activities.

Communications and Development Director Vicky Biles said, “The theatre works with and for the wider community on a local, national and international scale. From early years dance workshops, Youth Theatre and partner school’s projects, to community focused drama led sessions and tours and talks, the scope and impact of the theatre’s reach is impressive. York Theatre Royal staff, audiences, participants and visitors are at the very heart of everything we do.

"Would you like to join as a Trustee to help shape the theatre's future? York Theatre Royal are looking for individuals with a genuine enthusiasm for live performance and a curiosity and open-mindedness about what it takes to run a successful theatre.

The theatre's Board of Trustees ensure high standards of governance through the effective and ethical management of the organisation and its affairs in a culture committed to transparency and accountability."
