Job Opportunities

Though we tend to prefer groups of artists we have worked with before, we strive to create a rolling pool of theatre professionals, working with groups of them at a time on each project.
Below is a list of areas we are specifically recruiting.

Castings

Please Note: We do NOT accept actor submissions via email. Please do NOT send electronic CVs and headshots to our staff.

Any emails looking for work which have large attachments will not be looked upon favourably.

You are more than welcome to contact our staff with invitations to your work or as introductions.

The best way to hear about job openings is to enter your name and email in the Newsletter section to the left.

Any hard copy CV's and headshots sent through will not be returned; they will be kept on file for one year before being recycled.

So you wanna be a Theatre Producer?

Are you hungry, brave, and passionate about drama?

Do you want to find out if you have what it takes to become a brilliant Producer but don't know where to begin?

Icarus is looking for additional production staff for its upcoming productions with a view to train and develop the successful candidate to work as a creative leader/producer on future projects.

This is a training programme! We can give you the skills you need!

Please send a CV and cover letter to . The cover letter is far more important than the CV.

Icarus is unique as a small scale theatre company in that it functions as a Collective. A team of Producers lead the company under the measured Artistic Direction of company founder. Each Producer will lead one project per year and act as support for the others. In this way many projects can happen simultaneously and the company maintains a clear, strong Artistic Vision.

The only pay is training and fees on a project-by-project basis. Come on board to help us change this. We want your ambition.

This will be hard work and intense involvement. We expect to give you a chance and for you to prove yourself by asking questions, getting help, and getting the job done.

The one thing we CAN'T give you is a sharp wit and initiative. Both are vital. Bring them yourself.

At the moment we have a full complement of interns, but new vacancies will be available in the New Year.
