Production Team Vacancies

Imperial Productions would like to hear from directors, musical directors and choreographers interested in working with us in 2012. We welcome show proposals from experienced directors or MDs who may have an interest in putting on innovative and inventive productions of operas, operettas, musicals or plays.

For further details, please contact the Chair, David Phipps-Davis.

Here are some answers to questions prospective Directors and MDs may have:

  1. Imperial Productions do not pay their Directors or MDs.
  2. We usually rehearse for two evenings a week and one full day each weekend. These rehearsals normally take place in the Pimlico or Archway areas of London, or certainly somewhere central.
  3. We usually perform one show in the Summer (June) and one in the Winter (October/November) in London, and another at the beginning of December in Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
  4. In London, we have recently performed at the Barons Court Theatre, the Cockpit Theatre and Hoxton Hall, but are always open to suggestions of new and exciting venues.
  5. Our regular company comes from a wide and varied background, from those with no experience to trained and experienced professionals. Most of our company are aged 18-50, but we've worked with a few younger than that and many older. Anyone can audition for a show – they do not need to be an existing member.
  6. Directors can supply their own MD and choreographer or we can suggest someone – everything is open to discussion.
  7. The director is usually responsible for producing the show, or finding a Producer to help them.
  8. The director has total artistic control over the production. The committee are only there for help and guidance.
