SalaryAbout My Life As A Cowboy
Conor is a gay 17 year old lifeguard, trapped in the suffocating suburbia of Croydon. But the opportunity to prove himself to the world is finally here - through the local talent show, Croydon People's Day. His friends Zainab and Michael aren't convinced. Will his all-singing, all-dancing Country & Western tribute act be enough to get them onside and bring it home?
From Bruntwood Prize-longlisted writer Hugo Timbrell and Zoo Co Artistic Director Flo O'Mahony comes a thrilling, joyous new comedy about friendship, glory, Shania Twain and what happens when you embrace your weird side.
Originally premiering at The Park Theatre in May 2022 in a sell-out run, this revival is scheduled for August-September 2024. The production will be playing at Omnibus Theatre in their Main Space, having secured funding from Arts Council England.

Job description
We are seeking an experienced and creative Movement Director to choreograph the movement for this new production of this popular and in-demand show.
The key creative challenge for the Movement Director will be designing the choreography for the play, which will need to fall heavily in the Country & Western genre. You will also need to be willing and able to teach the choreography to the company at various points during the rehearsal process, and manage rehearsals effectively so that the company goes into the show with a strong and well rehearsed understanding of what they need to do. We are imagining choreography that can lend itself to scene transitions, and for the post holder to create a 'language' with the movement that can be felt throughout the piece.
We would be excited to hear from a creative person who thinks they can really elevate the production's movement/choreography.
