Actor

Working under the Director, the Actor’s responsibility is to project the Director’s vision of the play. Through speech, actions, facial expressions, and motion on stage the personality of the character and the plot of the play are developed. Both veteran and novice actors are welcomed. Watch our home page or Facebook page for audition notices.

Costumes

The Costume Coordinator works with the Director to design colours, styles and movement of the costumes. They supervise the construction of special costumes and help to obtain others. During the run the costume person will maintain the clothing.

Director

The Director has the overall responsibility for the interpretation of the play. Their vision of the character development, emotion, suspense, drama and humour of the play is to be projected through the Actors.

Front of House

Tickets, audience safety, ushering and refreshments are the responsibility of the Front of House manager and personnel. They co-ordinate with the Stage Manager to schedule the audience in and out of the theatre.

Hair

The hairstylist is responsible for cutting, styling and colouring hair to fit with the feel and time period of the show. This may be the cast’s natural hair or in some cases wigs and other pieces.

Lighting

The Lighting Designer will create the mood for the various scenes of the plays. Cool blues or warm beige’s with special highlights can wash the stage. With a crew they will hang the lights and prepare the cues for the lighting operator.

Makeup

The makeup artist helps to create the look of the characters. This may be basic sculpting of the face to aid in expression or the addition of special wounds, bruises, or prosthetics. Often practical time limits mean part of this role is teaching cast members to apply their own makeup according to a set of guides.

Producer

The Producer is appointed by the Executive Producer and manages the production. They have the responsibility of working to oversee all aspects of the production including the financial planning.

Properties

Anything that an actor handles on stage is a prop – toilet plungers, wine bottles, glasses, rubber chickens, letters and typewriters. The props person obtains these items and ensures they are ready for the actors each night.

Publicity

“Without the audience there ain’t no show”. The Publicity Coordinator will oversee, radio, newspaper coverage and ads, posters, programme advertising and publicity gimmicks.

Set

In conjunction with the Director, the Set Designer creates the vision and the construction details for the set to be built. The team of builders will then set up the walls, windows, floor and ceiling details as required. They will add details during rehearsals until the vision of the director and set designer are met.

Sound

Well placed, high quality sound reinforces the skill of the Actors, while the pre-show and intermission music must enhance the theme of the play. The Sound Designer will pick the music and sound effects for the technicians to play on cue. For musicals, live sound mixing of voices and instruments is part of this role.

Stage Manager

The Stage Manager’s list of duties is longer than any other – it is not a job for the novice. The Stage Manager is the first to arrive at every rehearsal and the last to leave. Once the production opens the Stage Manager is responsible for running the show.
