It is our goal to ensure that all children have access to the arts regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, abilities, gender or accessibility needs. We believe children are the key to the future and as such, deserve to see themselves represented everywhere. We engage in a wide range of stories and productions to broaden experiences and learning opportunities. We offer a variety of classes to meet young people where they are. Providing each student with the chance to learn and grow in creativity, imagination, resilience, empathy, tolerance, and connections is what we do. This work is accomplished by an inclusive and diverse, professional staff of artists, educators, technicians, and administrators, devoted to live theater and arts education for young people. These are equal parts of the while that make us The Rose Theater.
Stage Management Apprentices work as an assistant stage manager and run crew on various mainstage productions. Starting with pre-production meetings through rehearsals and performances, they will work closely with actors, students, directors and choreographers.
Assignments also include the opportunity to stage manage a mainstage production later in the season. When not assigned to a show, Stage Management Apprentices assist with administrative/production management work and other areas of production as needed. This includes helping with load-ins, strikes and light hang/focus. Applicants should be able to interact with a wide variety of personalities and adapt to various working styles. Additionally, the apprentice must stay focused, take initiative and maintain a professional demeanor in the workplace.
Applicants must possess strong writing and computer skills as there is an emphasis on producing quality paper work. The ability to read music is desirable and prior stage management experience is required. A practical knowledge of electrics and a basic understanding of power tools is a plus. This apprenticeship is suitable for those working towards careers as professional stage managers.
