Overview

Sonia Friedman Productions is seeking applications for an experienced Dresser to work on the London production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, this play by Jack Thorne received its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre in summer 2016.

Experience in theatre on a large-scale production is desirable.

Candidates will require relevant hands-on professional experience in costume, the ability to work under pressure and within a team, good interpersonal and communication skills and strong organisational and time management qualities.

Ideal candidates will have an understanding of sewing techniques.

We are committed to a workplace that embraces equality, diversity, and inclusion. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from those currently underrepresented in our workforce.
