Head of Costume Shop
Works with professional designers to create costumes for our 5 summer productions, while training a small crew of high school students to assist you as part of our Technical Theatre Apprenticeship program. The production schedule is very tight; hence, the majority of the costumes will be altered from our existing stock of 4000+. The Shop Head may also apply to design one or more plays. Salary: $450-$650/week plus room and board for 8 weeks.
Ideal candidate will have the following skills and characteristics:
- Have or be pursuing an MFA
- Delights in mentoring and teaching teens
- Strong stitching, fitting and altering skills
- Experience successfully managing a crew – delegating, expanding skills, scheduling and meeting 5 production deadlines
- Super organized
- Maintain a joyful, educational and stress-free shop environment
- Excited by functioning in a makeshift shop, not a professional space
