Footlights Spring Revue 2019 – Footlights

7:45pm, Tue 26th February 2019–Sat 2nd March 2019, at ADC Theatre
Lent Week 6

Applications to assistant direct

************FOOTLIGHTS SPRING REVUE AD APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN************

The Spring Revue 2019 team is looking for an Assistant Director!

The only ADC Main sketch show of the year, Spring Revue is a chance to show off the talent of finalist Footlights members in the biggest and best way possible, before they go on to bigger and better things once they graduate (i.e. consultancy).

We’re looking for applicants who are organised, diligent, and inventive, but most importantly we are looking for people who are passionate about comedy. This will be a largely collaborative production with a large cast, so the ability to organise people is always a plus. We invite the Assistant Director to be as involved in the creative development of the show as possible, helping to bring the cast together, and playing a vital role in the writing and rehearsing process.

Please note: you do not have to be a Footlights member or a finalist to assistant direct Spring Revue - anyone can apply!

In your application, please include:
- Why you would like to be involved
- How you would approach assistant directing Spring Revue
- Any past experience that may be useful

Please send you application to footlights.springrevue@gmail.com - the deadline for applications is 6pm on the 15th of December.

If you have any questions, queries or issues, feel free to email!

Deadline: Saturday 15th December 6:00pm

Cambridge Shorts

11:00pm, Tue 12th February 2019 at ADC Theatre
Lent Week 4

Co Director, Producer and Publicist & New Writing Prize Submissions

We’re looking for a few people interested in taking it over – so are particularly encouraging apps from those of you around next year. We’re opening up for three roles:

Co-Director: Basically looking after the creative stuff in the night and running the film selection committee. We want to have a play around with the formula a bit, work out some new stuff to do in pre-state and transitions, and come up with a fuck off ridiculous host entrance. Looking for people with quirky ideas about fun things we can do with the night. Honestly can’t explain how great it has been to have a night at the ADC each term where you can basically do whatever you want.

Producer: To look after the theatre end of stuff and deal with general logistics.

Publicist: Someone to deal with social media and the student papers.

Drop us an email (cambridgeshorts@gmail.com) before December 18th briefly outlining any relevant experience (none required!) and we’ll organize a call at some point over the holidays. We’re on the 12th of Feb this time around. Open to pairs applying for roles.

New Writing:

A few people have asked me for some time over the holidays to get stuff written for the new writing prize, so we’ve decided to extend the deadline until December 18th. If you’ve already sent stuff in and want to polish – drop us an updated version of the script. We won’t look at them until the deadline’s passed – cambridgeshorts@gmail.com

Deadline: Tuesday 18th December 11:59pm

Jazz Emu

Lent Week 0

Applications to Produce

Hi - I'm an ex-footlight from the days of yore (2014-5) performing a new hour of musical comedy at the Corpus Playroom on 14th January. As I don't know loads of people in Cambridge anymore (rough estimate is 1, and that's at the top end), I would love some help putting the show out there and getting some people through the door.

Very low commitment - just a few posts/posters in the right places/trying to spread the word would be great!

Deadline: Tuesday 1st January 12:00pm
