There are always opportunities for young people interested in backstage and technical work.  This year we shall be looking for a small number of Assistant Stage Managers and Technicians to join our projects.

You will work with an experienced Stage and Technical Managers to look after the backstage requirements of the project. This role is heavily tailored to your interests, and could include making and find props and costumes, cueing the lighting, running the sound and ensuring the smooth running of the rehearsals and performances.

Working as part of a team you will gain valuable experience in realising high production values.

Because of the nature of the work you must be 16 years or over on the 1st July 2008.

In the same way that our company of actors do, backstage company members will need to be able to pay a course fee for their residential project, to cover the costs of accommodation, food, pastoral care and all other course material. They will receive offers in the same way as the actors and will receive the same fundraising guidance and support, and course fees can be paid in installments.

If you have any further queries, please call 0844 415 4858.
