The General Manager is a key, senior member of Tara Theatre’s team; we are looking for someone to produce in-house productions and projects, support visiting productions and work alongside the executive team in planning the logistics of future programming. Our new General Manager will work on HR and organisational management and deputise for the Executive Director when required.

Tara Theatre creates innovative, politically charged theatre harnessing the power of co-creation. Our work explores the complexities of our world through a South Asian lens, championing South Asian voices and artists, identifying new narratives, new ideas and new forms.  

For nearly five decades, Tara Theatre has supported the emergence of generations of South Asian performers, writers, directors, musicians and choreographers, and toured extensively both nationally and internationally. Artists such as Nitin Sawhney CBEAyub Khan Din and Sudha Bhuchar started their careers with Tara Theatre. As the longest running global majority led theatre, we are driving change within the UK theatre landscape, addressing the lack of diversity and representation and challenging our industry.  

Tara Theatre is a contemporary and democratic space, a centre for a wide-ranging community of artists and audiences locally, nationally and internationally.  We believe everyone we work with has an important and creative voice to be amplified, whether they are part of our local community, younger creatives, emerging talents or established professionals. 

Our recent work has included a major international artist collaboration with the British Council, a powerful VR performance supported by The National Theatre’s Immersive Story Telling Studio and a co-production with the Donmar Warehouse. In 2024 we took our production on a major national tour visiting venues including Birmingham RepLeicester Curve and HOME, Manchester.   

In 2024 we announced Natasha Kathi-Chandra as the next Artistic Director and Joint CEO of Tara Theatre https://taratheatre.com/news/natasha-kathi-chandra-announced-as-new-artistic-director-of-tara-theatre/ 

We are based in our beautiful theatre in Earlsfield, less than 10 minutes from Waterloo. The building was redeveloped in 2016 and houses a main auditorium, studio space, café-bar and garden and two floors of office space.
