Job Summary

Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe is seeking an experienced Lighting Designer for the national tour of Father JC’s Holy Show. This role involves working closely with a small, dynamic team—including a cast of two—to deliver an adaptable and effective lighting design suitable for a range of performance spaces.

Job Description

About the Show

Father JC's Holy Show is a divine drag comedy led by the Irish Drag Priest himself-Father JC. He's on a mission to bring his big mass to the masses, and although he hasn't written the show yet… what could possibly go wrong?

Created and performed by multi-award-nominated artist Laura Wyatt O'Keeffe, this glittering hour of ritual and rave, faith and fabulousness, blends liturgical chaos with high-camp celebration. Expect big hymns, bops, anthems, laughs, and a level of soul-searching you won't find in any pew.

The show was developed through residencies at the National Centre for Circus Arts and Tom Thumb Theatre, and is supported by Arts Council England.
