Norwich Theatre Royal is East Anglia’s premier theatre, presenting a high quality mix of drama, musicals, opera, dance, comedy, music, children’s and family shows all year round.   In 2013/14, it sold over 414,000 tickets for around 420 performances of over 90 separate events, averaging 75% of capacity.   With 1300 seats, the Theatre Royal is the largest theatre in Norfolk, and plays an active part in the cultural life of the region.   It reopened in late 2007 after six and a half months closure for a £10 million building modernisation, which has transformed the auditorium and all public areas, with the provision of audience facilities which are among the best in the country.  

The Development Director will assist the Theatre Royal to increase its non-Box Office revenue.   This will be done primarily through attracting sponsorship and developing relationships with local businesses; cultivating new and existing donors; and pursuing relevant and appropriate funding opportunities.   The Development Director will lead the capital campaign to secure funds for a new education facility on the Theatre Royal site.

The Theatre Royal is a registered charity (No. 262259).
