Get Involved - Art & Design
Whether you fancy yourself onstage, backstage or offstage, Progress Theatre offers a variety of ways for you to get involved.
We’re all volunteers here, learning on the job and from each other. There’s always room for more though, so if you want to pick up a new skill, perfect an old one, or share your expertise with us, we’d love to have you.

Show Posters, Flyers and Programme Design
We use posters, flyers and social media to promote show productions at Progress Theatre to as wide an audience as possible. We also sell programmes during the show runs, which include insights into what it takes to put on a show, photos from throughout the rehearsal process, and information about the show.
These all need designing, from creating the original poster artwork to putting together the digital designs in Canva.
If you are interested in being part of the talented team who pull this all together for each show, or to offer your time and skill on a one-off basis, please contact our Marketing Manager, Ali Howarth, at [email protected].
Art in the Foyer
During each of our shows, we turn our foyer into an exhibition room showcasing work by local artists. This opportunity is open to all, and there is no hanging fee. We do, however, retain a 20% commission on all artwork sold.
We love being part of a creative community made up of many talents. If you’re a passionate artist looking to show off your skills, you can use our space to display your work.
We’re interested in artwork in all media, but due to limited space can only accept arrangements that can be hung on the walls.
For more information, please contact our Art Co-ordinator, Eileen Pinkarchevski, at [email protected].
