About the Role:
Oddments Theatre Company is a Christian theatre group dedicated to sharing powerful stories through drama in schools, churches, theatres, and prisons across the UK. Our productions use innovative stage sets and offer visual theatre that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.

- ‘My Story’ – A new 50-minute production designed specifically for prisons.
Tour Information:
The tour will run for four to five weeks following the completion of rehearsals. Cast members will experience the typical touring lifestyle, including setup and pack-down responsibilities at each venue.
- Accommodation: Provided during rehearsals and throughout the tour (team housing, host families, or occasional hotels).
- Non-performance Days: Practical work will be organized on days when there is no performance. Each week, cast members will have two days off.
