We’re hiring a Producer at @thebarntheatrecirencester
I’m really pleased to be recruiting a full-time Producer to join the producing team.
You’ll be working closely with me, our Creative Producer and Artistic teams to deliver ambitious, high-quality work on time, on budget and to the highest professional standards.
Please do share with brilliant producers in your network and feel free to DM me with any questions.
Cirencester, thank you... With your help we’ve managed to achieve great things.
The Barn Bus is getting neighbours in from outlying villages who otherwise may not have the ability to come to the theatre.
Project Orpheus brought the town together in a way we’ll remember for a long time.
Our Christmas Carol audiences raised over £17,000 for Cirencester Pantry
We held our first BSL-supported performance...
And a Barn show is heading to the West End with I’m Sorry Prime Minister.
None of this happens without you—audiences, volunteers, partners, artists.
We’ll keep our heads down and keep doing the work. 2026 brings more access-first nights, new stories—including the world-premiere Men Behaving Badly: The Play—and the award-winning Ottilie.
If you can, book, share, bring a friend. Let’s keep putting Cirencester on the map, one night at a time.
The Barn are thrilled that Iwan Lewis and Liam McMullan have been named in @thestageuk 100, the definitive list of the most influential figures in the UK theatre and performing arts.
Iwan Lewis, our Artistic Director & CEO, says: “Delighted to be acknowledged in The Stage 100 — but in reality it takes a village: which is the wonderful Barn team.”
2025 was a surge: A Role to Die For transferred to London, we raised our game with a musical reimagining of Friends, co-produced The Last Five Years, and premiered a new play about The Archers. We begin 2026 with our first West End transfer — ‘I’m Sorry Prime Minister’. Thank you to our artists, team, audiences and community.
Next up, the world-premiere Men Behaving Badly: The Play.
