Get Involved Backstage

Backstage

The stage crew team is essential to the smooth running of each and every performance.

A member of stage crew, equipped with headphones and a copy of the script, is assigned to each stage entrance and is there to check that actors in are place for their entrances. They assist with bulky/heavy/hazardous props and furniture as required.

A member of stage crew is assigned to ‘Calls’ – ie going to the Dressing Room (Cowshed) and calling actors to the relevant stage entrance.

If you join the stage crew you will be part of a friendly, hard-working team helping to run one of the South Coast’s highest-profile productions. For those who prefer to be behind the scenes but still want to feel the excitement, this vital role will give you the buzz of performance. The stage crew is key to a successful production.

You must be able to catch the ferry from Poole Quay on performance nights (last ferry leaves at 6.20) and will be working out-of-doors all evening.

Auditions and Open Evenings are held every year in January, however you can join us at any time during the year using our crew sign up form.

Amazing dedicated and inspiring team to work with
