Idiot String is currently hiring for the production positions listed below. Please contact Rebecca Longworth at idiotstring@gmail.com with your resume to arrange an interview. People of color and gender-non-conforming folks are especially encouraged to apply.
You'll support rehearsals and production for an ambitious, site-specific theatrical production that's devised collaboratively with the ensemble.
You'll serve as the main point of contact for all collaborators and build positive, creative, and collaborative relationships with an amazing group of artists.
You'll keep the rehearsals schedule and contact sheet up-to-date, and take notes on blocking and script adjustments to assist creation of the final production script along with the writing team.
You'll lead the production crew and provide support during performances. You may call or run some sound cues, but the nature of this production is such that there is not a need for the traditional calling of cues.
You'll manage production meetings along with the Design Director.
Experience with experimental, site-specific, devised, and/or interactive theatre is preferred.
Stage management experience in a theatrical setting, either traditional or non-traditional, is required, as well as an understanding and appreciation of the unique role of the stage manager.
Two positions are available: Production Stage Manager, who would attend all rehearsals and performances and lead the Stage Management team; and Stage Manager, who would attend only certain rehearsals and performances, sharing the position with another SM.
Weekday rehearsals take place in East Oakland and weekend rehearsals in Port Costa.
