Backstage crew

Our productions do not just rely on a hard working talented cast along with professional, experienced direction but on the hard work, skills and experience of the hidden heroes backstage!

Our stage crew are those guys in black that lurk about backstage moving scenery on and off, mostly in the dark but just occasionally in the spotlight 😉

Our deputy stage manager (DSM) who calls the cast, cues the lights, sound and scenery changes,  making sure things happen in the right place at the right time!

Want to get involved?

We are always looking for willing volunteers for our backstage crew.

Have you got skills and/or interests in sound, lighting, props, costumes and stage management?

Would you like the experience of working backstage and learning more about what it takes to put on a Musical Theatre production?

We really value our backstage team and in 2020 we introduced our first Society awards, which included the Jim Bowman Technical award for outstanding contribution backstage for the Society.  Each year we will be awarding this to a deserving member of our backstage team giving you even more reason to get involved!

If you are willing to volunteer some time during the runs of our shows please get in touch via the contact us page.
