CURRENT ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES + APPLICATIONS

SENIOR LEADERSHIP ROLE

EOIs CLOSE MID-FEBRUARY 2026

Theatre Works is entering an important new chapter.

With Executive Director Dianne Toulson set to step down in 2026, the Theatre Works Board is now seeking new executive leadership with the confidence and experience to steward this complex organisation into its next chapter.

The incoming leadership will provide operational and financial stability within a vibrant ecosystem that allows theatre artists to flourish. The job requires management acumen and a creative spirit.

While Theatre Works enters this transition from a position of organisational strength, the broader arts funding environment for the arts remains challenging and uncertain. The Board is therefore seeking leadership that brings a clear-eyed understanding of contemporary funding volatility, income diversification, partnership-driven models, and responsible long-term planning.

The Board is open to thoughtful evolution in how Theatre Works is led – where such approaches strengthen sustainability, accountability, and organisational health.
