When Sophie lands a new job in parliament, it’s a chance to leave her past behind. Working as an assistant to a charismatic MP, she climbs the ranks as he rises meteorically from backbencher to leader of the opposition. But when scandal sweeps Westminster, Sophie is forced to choose between ambition and integrity. MESSIAH is a new play about power, corruption and what happens when the personal becomes political.

MESSIAH is looking for a dynamic Stage Manager to help organize and run the show's production process!

The Stage Manager runs the day-to-day operations of the show. They will work closely with the directing team, cast, and production team both during rehearsals and the show run to help the production operate smoothly and efficiently. Their responsibilities will include helping coordinate the rehearsal schedule; taking stage, line, and cue notes during rehearsals; and sourcing props for the production.

No prior experience is required. We are excited to work with theatremakers from a variety of artistic backgrounds!
