Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Graduate Placement

« on: May 30, 2011, 09:14 am »

This seems like good advice, thank you. I've applied for a technical trainee position in Oxford, along with a couple of other applications and work experience/placement requests.

Thanks Again

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Graduate Placement

« on: May 21, 2011, 09:28 am »

I'm a Theatre and Performing Arts student at Worcester University. Or at least I was until last week.

I've just completed my course and feel slightly under-prepared for the world of work. I'd love to enter the industry, but I'm unsure how, short of marching into reception and asking for a job. Stage management and Technicals are the areas I am most interested in.

Any advice at all would be warmly welcomed
Thanks for your time

I was 10 years old playing one of the ugly sisters in Cinderella. Not alot has changed thankfully. Can't beat a bit of pantomime humor.

The Green Room / First Jobs

I'm just about to finish University and enter 'Real World' and have the daunting task off trying to work my way into the realms of professional theatre management. I understand there is a mountain of advice in these forums, but I was wondering if anyone had some interesting 'First Job' stories?

How did you find your way into the theatre? What was your starting wage? Who helped you along the way?

Sorry if this topic isn't appropriate for this forum, I'm a newbie and still learning my way around
