Be part of our creative future
LWMS became a registered charity last year, and an important part of our mission is educating and developing people. Our upcoming production of Shrek the Musical will be a big show with lots to manage, so we feel it's a good opportunity to open the floor to new talent for the future. We're looking to enhance our team with fresh perspectives and skills. We're keen to connect with individuals who can contribute their skills to LWMS, whether now or in shows to come.

How to express interest
If you're interested in bringing your creative skills and passion in musical theatre to us, please send us an email outlining your skills and experience by Saturday 11 May. We welcome interest from people of all backgrounds, past and present members of LWMS, as well as newcomers. We normally rehearse in Leamington Spa from September to show week (which is typically a couple of weeks before Easter), on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus Sunday afternoons as required. Anyone participating would be expected to be available for the vast majority of rehearsals. None of these are salaried positions, though an honorarium may be offered, depending on the role.
