This exceptional opportunity allows you to lead one of Canada's most innovative, dynamic, and successful regional theatre companies. Western Canada Theatre is seeking an experienced Executive Director (ED) to work in a co-leadership role with the Artistic Director (AD).

The successful candidate will be an exceptional administrative leader who will collaborate with the administrative and creative teams of WCT to create and implement a bold vision for the company's future success.
