FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I have a full-time job, will I still be able to participate?

The vast majority of our production teams work full-time. We rehearse in the evenings and at weekends, and production meetings are generally held either after rehearsal or on a weeknight. Typically, a cabaret may rehearse on one weeknight and a weekend day (for example: Wednesday evening 7pm - 10pm and Saturday 11am - 4pm); whilst a large-scale show may rehearse two weeknights and a weekday (such as Tuesday and Thursday 7pm - 10pm and Saturday 11am - 5pm). This will vary show to show, but you will not be expected to attend during the average working day. Rehearsals tend to intensify nearer to show week, and there is an expectation that you will attend "Get-In" (where we bring the show into the theatre space - this can take all day, and is usually on a Sunday), plus one or more Tech and Dress Rehearsals in the evenings immediately prior to the show dates. Call time for both cast and crew on a Show night is 6pm.

Do you offer internships?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer internships - we are a charity staffed entirely by volunteers who work in their spare time, and we have no full-time staff. The charity is run by an elected Board of Trustees who volunteer their time alongside their full-time jobs. We then use volunteers as crew and creative for each individual production who work with us in their free time. If you are in London and would like to volunteer your time to help on a specific production we would love to have you join us.
