Launch your career in theatre by gaining hands-on experience supporting productions, championing new voices and helping bring accessible, real-life stories to audiences at a leading London theatre.

Park Theatre presents exceptional theatre in the heart of Finsbury Park in two world-class performance spaces: Park200 for larger scale productions with established talent and Park90, a flexible studio space, for emerging artists to platform new work. Park Theatre aims to be as accessible, relatable and representative as possible for a theatre of its scale in its location, serving local communities while striving for artistic excellence. From incisive adaptations of the classics through to a growing focus on new writing, it tells relatable stories that speak directly to people. Offering audiences quality work, often with high-profile actors, for a competitive ticket price, Park Theatre is both a destination venue and a compelling alternative to the West End. Its artistic vision is to present accessible real-to-life stories that reflect the communities around us.

This producing internship offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the operational and creative processes of a working theatre. It's a unique opportunity to build practical skills in producing, programming and arts administration, and to make a genuinely meaningful contribution to Park Theatre’s output. The producing intern will play key role in supporting the producer and producing coordinator to ensure productions of Park Produced (in-house) and visiting work are created with care, and run smoothly and professionally. Moreover, their involvement in script reading, submissions tracking, and attendance at workshops and programming discussions will give direct access to the artistic decision-making processes that shape the theatre’s talent development work, public programme and audience offer. The producing intern will also have the opportunity to represent Park Theatre at events and engage with internal teams to develop professional confidence, industry awareness, and strengthen their emerging networks.
