work samples?
« on: Mar 30, 2010, 09:49 pm »
Hi everyone!

I'm applying for internships/apprenticeships/jobs for this summer and next year and a few theatres are asking for work samples to be included.  Any advice on which paperwork to send?

Thanks!!!

When I hired interns, I like to see a some samples from various shows - so, a couple calling pages,a prop list, a run book, etc, etc . . . just something to show how you approach the work.

Thanks!! I'm going to be e-mailing samples with my resume I was thinking of sending props lists, tracking sheets, run sheets, and maybe a rehearsal and performance report.  Do you think those would be adequate?

That all would be great - to give potential employers an insight into your level of work, and your style of stage management.

Where ever you work, they may already have paperwork they want you to use, but it will help give them a view into your style.
