🎭 Ever wondered what it’s like to help bring a show to life from the wings? We’re looking for enthusiastic, organised individuals to get involved behind the scenes as Production Managers — no experience necessary, full training and support provided! You’ll be at the right hand of the Director from first rehearsal to final curtain, helping to coordinate everything that happens backstage. On show nights, you’ll take the reins as Stage Manager, running the show and keeping everything moving like clockwork. It’s an incredibly rewarding way to be part of the magic of live theatre. Whether you’ve done it before or are keen to learn something new, we’d love to hear from you. 👏 Huge thanks to Wendy Elliott, who recently showed theatre member Jane Yates the ropes. Jane, who has previously acted and worked on props, took on the role of Assistant Stage Manager for Enchanted April — and did a fantastic job! 👉 Visit the Get Involved > Volunteering section of our website to find out more and drop us a message! #BackstageHeroes #ProductionManager #StageManager #CommunityTheatre #Teamwork #GetInvolved #TalismanTheatre #EnchantedApril
