Executive Director and CEO, Sean Kelly said the following:

"This is an incredibly exciting time for The Everyman. We remained one of the busiest theatres in Ireland for the past two years, continuing to provide regular offerings for our audiences and to employ artists even during the most severe phases of lockdown. The Everyman has emerged from the pandemic in good health, and we are now at a point where we can look forward to building on the hard-won successes of recent years which, of course, the board played a vital role in. We have a huge range of events planned for 2022 and beyond so this is an incredibly exciting time to join our board or development committee."

The deadline for applications is the 25th of March and more information can be found on The Everyman's website.
