Reimagining theatre, building a future: Join the board of Kali Theatre

Under the Artistic Direction of Aisha Zia, Kali is redefining not just what stories are told, but how they are told, and who gets to shape the form itself.

For us, theatre is not simply words on a page. It is a living, breathing experience, a space where thought, meaning, and feeling converge. This shift is about restoring agency to artists, creating conditions for stronger, bolder writing to emerge, and offering audiences work that feels exciting and alive to the cultural moment.

To realise this vision, we are seeking new trustees who share our conviction in the power of theatre to transform lives and who are ready to help us build a sustainable, nationally networked future. 

Deadline to apply: Midnight, 17th September
