Virgin Labfest 5 Needs Volunteer Stage Managers

Bago ang lahat, i-klaro lang po natin na madugo ang trabaho ng stage manager. Dugo, pawis at luha ang hihingin mula sa iyo, pero barya lamang ang kapalit. (Before anything else, let’s make it clear that the job of a stage manager is very demanding. You will be asked to render the requisite blood, sweat and tears, yet you will still be paid a measly sum.)

Now that you have been forewarned, maybe you would like to do a little self-assessment:

Are you organized? Stage managers are supposed to organize the rehearsals and every little detail of the show such as buying hairpins for the actors to major details like scheduling the technical dress rehearsal.

Are you resourceful? Stage managers are expected to beg, steal and borrow to come up with props, set pieces, costumes, etc. Improvisational skills are really handy.

Are you passionate about theatre? Passion can be the only driving force when one is paid too little for doing so much (although you will be paid richly in non-monetary ways).

That said, Virgin Labfest 5 is looking for stage managers for at least 24 productions.

Rehearsals usually start on the 3rd week of May. The festival will be from June 23 – July 5, 2009.

If you are interested, e-mail your resume and letter of intent to smvirginlabfest@yahoo.com.ph
