Employment / Non-Theater lady looking to work in touring Theater
« on: Nov 07, 2013, 03:24 pm »
Hey there,
I've got almost 8 years of experience in Live Entertainment, but none of it is in Theater. I did mostly concerts but also festivals, comedy and boxing peppered in. I'm trying to get into the theatrical touring circuit as a PA (I know tours do not hire SMs without prior touring experience and I am happy to work my way up the ranks.) My experience is as an Administrative Assistant, Production Coordinator, Promoter Rep, Technical Director, and Stage Manager.
Here's my question: I don't know what qualities I should be putting in my Cover Letter to these companies. The don't exactly bulletin the job requirements on their webpage. I'm not really sure where to begin.
Any advice, thoughts, input would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
