(TOTAL ENGAGEMENT = 11 WEEKS)

We are looking for someone who has experience in all areas of stage management, this role requires a varied skill set, as you will be a TSM, DSM and CM all in one. We’re looking for someone with experience relighting, including rigging and focusing. We tour an LED rig with 16 lights, truss and ETC Nomad. Full training will be given on how the kit works.

This new play by Deirdre Kinahan has a cast of two actors.  We will rehearse for three weeks at both the bases of both companies – to begin with at New Perspectives HQ in Nottingham, followed by Pentabus Theatre in Ludlow, Shropshire. We will then embark on a six week rural tour in the Midlands and the South West.

We depend on our stage manager to keep everything on track. Rural touring is fun, it takes a lot of clear planning and preparation to make sure it runs smoothly. You need to have a good sense of humour, stamina, confidence, be quick thinking and have a mind for solving problems. You’ll be in charge of the schedule, making sure you all turn up at the right time, keep the van going, supporting the company, leading the get ins and outs, managing front of house with the promoter and most importantly running the show. You might be an experienced Stage Manager looking for something new or you might be not long out of college or training and wanting to get some experience under your belt. Either way we’d like to hear from you. You will be supported throughout the tour by the in house team.

Fee & Terms
