Become a trustee of cygnet theatre

Cygnet Theatre is looking for new Trustees and a Chair of the Board.

Trustee

Cygnet Theatre trustees oversee the management, governance, and strategic direction of the theatre, ensuring all activities align with its mission and fostering a culture of kindness, inclusivity, and accessibility in the arts.

It’s an exciting time to join Cygnet Theatre: we are transforming from a full-time drama school to a community theatre and arts training centre led by our new theatre manager, Steve Bennett.

So we are looking for new trustees with enthusiasm, ideas and problem-solving ability to help us shape Cygnet’s future.

We’re especially interested in hearing from people with experience in finance, HR, digital/marketing, law, or fundraising. However, your personal qualities, ideas and values are more important than your experience.

Trustees serve a 3-year term and attend 4-6 board meetings a year. This is a voluntary position, but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
