A different casting call for Cork's famed Everyman as theatre recruits executive director

One of Ireland's leading producing theatres, the Everyman in Cork, has begun a different kind of casting call as it seeks to recruit a new executive director who will also work as co-CEO. The new executive director will work in close partnership with the famed theatre's artistic director Des Kennedy. The executive director will provide strategic and operational leadership, ensuring the theatre's financial sustainability, legal compliance, and commercial vitality. As joint chief executives, both roles report directly to the theatre's board and will share responsibility for delivering The Everyman's artistic vision and social impact. 'We are so proud to have just completed our first Everyman Made season and we are thrilled to be looking ahead to our next exciting chapter on MacCurtain Street,' said artistic director Mr Kennedy, who took on his role earlier this year. 'Since moving to Cork, 10 months ago, I have had the privilege of working with the most passionate and dedicated team of staff, artists, and theatre-makers. We look forward to welcoming a new executive director to join, and co-lead, this team, as we continue to make world class theatre, made by The Everyman, for Cork, and beyond." The 650-seater Everyman Theatre is a Victorian architecture jewel on Cork's MacCurtain Street, which opened at the end of the 19th century. The theatre is in the middle of a hectic summer season, with the Barn Theatre's production of the award-winning play Stones in His Pockets running until August 10. Later in the month, two Irish personalities better known in different arenas will grace the stage, with Imelda May starring there in Mother Of All The Behans from August 12 to August 16, while broadcaster and TV persoanlity Laura Whitmore will star in The Girl on the Train at The Everyman from August 19 to 23.
