Job of the Week – Orange Tree Theatre - Development Manager (maternity cover)

By Rory Poulter 16th Nov 2021

Richmond's award-winning, independent theatre is looking for a Development Manager who will play a key role in its fund raising activities.

It is recognised as a powerhouse that creates high-quality productions of new and rediscovered plays, attracting audiences totalling 70,000 every year.

As a registered charity, the theatre relies heavily on volunteers and financial support from the local community. It also works with 10,000 people in Richmond and beyond through participatory theatre projects.

The Development Manager leads on individual giving, with a focus on managing and growing the theatre's Patron scheme, mid-level giving and campaigns.

The successful candidate for this maternity cover position will also take the lead in organising one-off and special events, making use of the theatre's Ambassadors.

The Orange Tree is currently in the midst of a post-pandemic and lockdown 'Recovery Season', which is a series of five productions featuring many plays that are new to British audiences.

Its contribution to the area over the past 50 years is to be celebrated in an exhibition at the Museum of Richmond.

There will be displays from the theatre's archives, including props and artworks, which will tell its story from its origins in a room above the Orange Tree pub to the former Victorian primary school, which became its home in 1991.

The free exhibition will run from mid-December 2021 until late August 2022 and is being funded by the Museum of Richmond Benefactors' Circle, the Richmond Parish Lands Charity, and the Society for Theatre Research.
