Student Employment
The Department of Theatre typically hires new student workers at the beginning of each academic year. We offer a variety of production and administrative positions, including jobs in the scene and costume shops, design studio, and office/administrative work.
We are particularly interested in students with the following skills and interests:
- carpentry
- sewing
- stage lighting
- painting
- handling audio-visual equipment
- computer graphics
- website design
- typing and office work
- publicity
- box office
- house and stage management
Compensation
We start new student workers at a higher rate than the minimum required; students re-hired in successive years automatically receive raises.
Work Schedules
Hours range from 4-8 per week between 10 AM and 6 PM weekdays, plus opportunities for optional extra work based on the needs of the current production. A minimum regular weekly commitment is expected.
