Job description

Overview

We are seeking a General Manager for “The Lost Blonde” – a new play by Little Dude Media Ltd, an ITC member company. The Lost Blonde, written/produced by Ian Beaumont, is a play about the life and career of Veronica Lake, the 1940s Hollywood film icon and “peek-a-boo blonde.”

Our aim is to tour the play regionally across the UK, ideally in the second half of 2026, before bringing it back to a leading London theatre venue in 2027. The play already has a strong creative and producing team in place; and several regional theatres are informally attached to stage it next year. In summary, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a bold, character-driven production with real commercial and artistic potential.

Requirements

• Experience as General Manager (or running a small GM company) with a passion for new writing and experience in managing UK touring theatre productions.
• Willingness to be paid according to ITC rates and based on experience.
• Interest in regional touring across the UK in 2026 and future London venue engagements.
• Ability to work with an established creative/producing team and collaborate with regional theatres attached to the production.
