The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh is looking for a new Artistic Director and co-CEO to co-lead the Company as it starts its sixtieth anniversary year.
The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh is the leading producing theatre in Scotland and one of the United Kingdom’s most prolific theatre companies. Nominated in The Stage Awards 2020 for Regional Theatre of the Year, The Lyceum has developed a reputation for innovative high-quality theatre, drawing on the considerable talent in Scotland and developing award-winning work and co-productions for national and international stages. The Lyceum also offers a well-attended and varied programme of engagement, outreach, youth theatre and schools’ projects delivered by The Lyceum’s Creative Learning team, and is proactively improving diversity, equality and inclusion organisationally and artistically.
Following the announcement that David Greig will be leaving his role at the Royal Lyceum Theatre at the end of the 2024/2025 season, we are seeking a new Artistic Director/Co-CEO. The Artistic Director is joint CEO with the Executive Director. Together, they are responsible for leading the company and providing clear decisive direction, motivation and purpose. Alongside these key responsibilities, the ideal candidate will be responsible for delivering a strong artistic programme and will help to deliver our overall strategy.
We are looking for a committed and dynamic individual who has professional experience in leading a producing theatre company, who shares the theatre’s values, and bold ambitions to seek out and reach new audiences and communities in Edinburgh, who will continue to broaden networks nationally and internationally, and who has diversity and inclusion at the heart of their thinking.
