LUNG is recruiting SIX roles for a brand new Musical …
LUNG are proud to be premiering a new verbatim musical (to be announced) in London this summer. This is a socially engaged production written by Helen Monks and Matt Woodhead (Co-Artistic Directors of LUNG) with music from Owen Crouch (BBC Radio 1 Introducing) and Clementine Douglas (BBC Radio 1 Dance Artist of the Year). This new production has been co-commissioned by The Lowry and developed via the National Theatre Studio’s Generate Programme. This musical is cast exclusively with children. A desire and enthusiasm to work with children is therefore a must across all departments. We are excited to be premiering this dynamic new musical and seek an experienced team to help us realise our most ambitious endeavour yet.
