Summer Vacation
A comic quick romp through all of Jane Austen's work. Three actors are due to perform the complete works, but when it transpires that one of the actors has defected to the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, the two remaining actresses and Austen superfans must teach an understudy who knows nothing about Austen about her work.
We are looking for the following roles: Technical Director to oversee all the technical aspects of the production and be in charge of the get-in and get-out Chief Electrician to ensure all lanterns are set up on stage during the get-in, according to the Lighting Designer ’s plans Stage Manager Someone with experience to co-ordinate backstage. DSM to attend the last few rehearsals and give cues on the SM desk during the show. ASM in charge of organizing, checking and arranging the props during the run. Lighting Designer ideally someone with experience of the ADC lighting board that we can work with to create several different scenes and effects using lighting. Lighting Operator this could be the same person as the lighting designer or could be someone else with experience, or someone who is looking to get more experience. Sound Effects Designer ideally someone with experience who can put together the music and sound effects that we will need throughout the show. Sound Operator this could be the same person as the sound designer , or someone with experience, or someone wanting to get more experience. There are going to be bursts of music for very short scene changes, sound effects during scenes and background music in some parts of the show. Projections/Video Designer someone who is confident with design to produce a variety of backdrops to project for the show onto the white cyclorama, from country houses and living rooms, to dragons (just go with it) and potentially some comedy ‘mock-Regency' style still adverts to display during the interval, the type you used to get at the cinema (and still do at the Picturehouse!). Projection Operator (possibly done as part of lighting operation?) This may be a separate job or one done as part of operating the lighting. Counterweights crew to bring house tabs up and down, and there might be a few items that fly in and out during the show eg chandelier. Get-in and Get-out crew both those with experience and those who want to get more experience to help move the furniture into place and out again, rig lights, house tabs and cyclorama, flats, and help decorate the theatre. You wouldn’t need to be available during the week for this.
