PRODUCER: BENNY AND THE GREYCATS & ROUTES TO ROOTS

Deadline: 8 December 2025, 9.00am

Maya Productions is seeking an experienced Producer to lead the development phase of Benny and the Greycats, a new musical exploring the journey of an Anglo-Indian family of railway workers and musicians who leave behind their swing band to build a new life in 1960s Sheffield. This phase will culminate in a rehearsed reading at Sheffield Theatres, presented to industry and local community audiences.

The Producer will take a strategic lead in generating interest, partners and potential co-producers to progress the musical towards a full production and national tour in 2027.

In addition, the role includes producing a short Routes to Roots intergenerational participation programme in partnership with Roshni Asian Women’s Resource Centre and King Ecgbert School. Building on our 2023–25 work with South Asian communities in Sheffield, Croydon and Bradford, this pilot project will explore new creative approaches, embracing digital possibilities and will culminate in a public outcome such as a sound walk, video installation or live performance.

Fee: Freelance, £175–£200 per day (depending on experience)
Time commitment: 1.5 days per week (with some flexibility around peak delivery periods)
Contract period: 5 January – 23 May 2026, with an intention to extend

Interview: 12th December 2025
Start date: January 2026
