The JMK Trust works to discover and nurture talented new and emerging theatre directors from across the UK. It does this through its renowned annual JMK Young Director Award and a national programme of free training opportunities delivered in partnership with 14 regional theatres including Leeds Playhouse, HOME Manchester and Northern Stage Newcastle. JMK is a small charity, which consistently delivers the work of a much larger organisation, run by just one regular member of staff, freelancers and a committed board of 7 trustees.
