York Citizens’ Theatre Trust is looking for a new chairman to lead its finance committee, ahead of major redevelopment at York Theatre Royal.

The project, due to start in spring 2015 will see major changes to the foyer and auditorium.

Liz Wilson, chief executive of the theatre, said: “The last major development was the Patrick Gwynne foyer, built in 1967, but what we are planning will equally transform the building and make it fit for the next 30 years.

Anyone interested can send a CV and cover letter to Vicky Biles, general manager, York Theatre Royal, St Leonard’s Place, York. YO1 7HD or email vickybiles@yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
