Front of House Stewards and Supervisors – In the Night Garden Live
Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham
Minor Entertainment was created in 2009 to produce spectacular family theatre events in unique spaces. Over the last eight years our first production, In the Night Garden Live (ItNGL), has toured across the UK in a purpose built inflatable theatre and has been seen by over 900,000 people. In 2018, ItNGL is touring again and we require Front of House Staff for performances in Birmingham.
