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 to take The Lesson forward over the next six months
and engage with us on a number of other plays and projects.
THIS IS A TRANING PROGRAMME! WE CAN GIVE YOU THE SKILLS YOU NEED!
The one thing we CAN'T give you is a sharp wit and initiative. Both
are vital. Bring them yourself.
When launching this programme back in October, we achieved fantastic success
and now have a number of wonderful Producers, Associates, and Assistants.
We won't placate you; we intend to find out if you've got what it takes
and weed out those who don't through hands-on experience.
