Job Summary
Job Description
I am seeking a freelance producer to support a small scale fringe theatre production in St Helens, planned for a five performance run in Autumn/Winter 2026. This is a part time, flexible role focused on practical coordination and delivery rather than creative input.
Responsibilities include:
liaising with the venue and confirming dates
coordinating pre production and scheduling
managing rehearsal logistics and basic admin
supporting marketing and ticketing setup
overseeing insurance, contracts, and production documentation
ensuring smooth delivery of the run

All production costs (venue hire, marketing, insurance, tech, etc.) are covered by the project budget. The producer is not expected to subsidise the show. A clear milestone based payment schedule will be agreed on appointment.
This role is ideal for someone with experience in fringe or small scale theatre producing who is organised, calm, and confident managing logistics independently.
