Technical Theatre Apprentice
Working as part of our technical team, you will have the opportunities to learn the basics of lighting, sound and stage management. Safe working practices are imperative and so you will be shown how to use stage equipment and the health and safety regulations which affect back stage operations. We need a practical person, with an enquiring mind and an ability to get on with people. You will probably have been involved with amateur theatre at school or with a local society and understand what a skilled technical crew can bring to a production. You will have the chance to work on both our own productions and visiting companies and you will have a great technical team, each with their own specialisms, to work with.
