Rose Theatre announces first ever Young People’s Board

The Rose is welcoming a group of six young people aged 18 to 25 year-olds as their first ever Young People’s Board. Applications are currently open for the positions, with submissions taken through 2-minite videos from potential board members. 

The change is to encourage young people from a range of backgrounds to develop the venue, providing them with the opportunity to affect positive change and have influence over programming of the theatre. 

Lucy Morrell, director of Learning & Participation at the Rose said: ‘Young people are at the very beating heart of the Rose and each year we put members of our renowned youth theatre at the forefront of our critically acclaimed Christmas productions. 

It is an honour to work with young members of the community every day as director of Learning & Participation and I’m thrilled that Rose has taken steps to create a platform for young people to voice their opinions. Our Young People’s Board is an opportunity for anyone aged 18-25 to have real say in shaping the future of the Rose.’

The Rose is looking to appoint six members and applications must be submitted to ygb@rosetheatre.org by midnight on 8 December. For more information on the role, visit www.rosetheatre.org/about-us/careers
