Next To You I Lie - Madhouse
Easter Week 7
Looking for
- Set Designer
- Costume Designer
- Stage Manager
- Sound designer/op
- Lighting designer/op
- Publicity Designer
'Next To You I Lie' examines the glamour model industry of the 1980s and its potentially corrosive effects on human relationships. It was devised in 1989 by Trouble & Strife, a women’s theatre company founded by Cambridge students with the explicit aim of producing work ‘by, for and about women’. The play explores themes that are still worryingly relevant today, raising questions about self-image, objectification, masculinity, and the validity of relationships between men and women in a society that is inherently misogynistic.
If you're a fan of a late-80s aesthetic then apply for one of these roles! The roles can be high/low commitment depending on what you're looking for, and I urge anyone to apply regardless of past experience!
Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/alice8046/next-to-you-i-lie/
In line with the ethos of both Madhouse and Trouble & Strife, applications for this role are open to female and n/b people only :)
To apply, please send me (Alice) a short paragraph outlining:
- why the play/project interests you
- any experience you may have (absolutely none necessary!)
Contact: at805@cam.ac.uk
Deadline for applications: Monday 30th April

A Cat Walks By Itself
Easter May Week
Looking for
- Stage Manager
- Publicity Designer
- Trailer Director
- Video Director
- Photographer
STAGE MANAGER - the stage manager will be responsible for all the usual elements of the show (which shouldn’t be too tricky, as it’s a Corpus one-nighter), but will also be responsible for the cat when the cat is backstage during the performance.
PUBLICITY DESIGNER - cats, poetry, what more could you want for inspiration? Publicity will likely be solely online.
TRAILER DIRECTOR+VIDEO DIRECTOR - the prospective trailer will feature a cat, so if you’re a budding cinematographer looking for a relatively uncommon experience then this might be for you. There’ll also ideally be some video during the show itself (also featuring a cat), though with a different tone (think health and safety video clip parody), so feel free to apply for both roles or just one.
PHOTOGRAPHER - there will be a cat, and some actors. We’ll need the usual rehearsal shots and headshots.
Send questions and applications to chris.lazenbatt@gmail.com, including why you want to work on the show, any initial ideas (for Publicity Designer, Trailer Director, and Video Director), previous relevant experience where available, and samples of previous work where available (for all except Stage Manager).
Contact: chris.lazenbatt@gmail.com

Easter Week 7
Looking for
- Costume designer
- Photographer
- Publicity designer
- Stage manager
- Assistant stage manager
- Lighting designer (will include light projection work)

VERY LOW COMMITMENT - we realise that this is exam term! This is going to be a very low-key production that won't require a huge amount of effort or commitment. The rehearsals will be concentrated in the two weeks before the play - at the beginning of June. We will work around your exams.
HATS is back with a bang- a gunshot bang to be more specific.
Don't embellish. Don't exaggerate. Tell the truth. Stick to it.

Space Doctor - StraightUp
12:15pm, Wed 1st August 2018 - Mon 27th August 2018, at Gilded Balloon // Edinburgh Fringe
Easter Week 3 to Summer Vacation
Looking for
- Technician
- Stage Manager
StraightUp Productions, a new company founded by Cambridge graduates, are looking for two crew members for upcoming runs of their new sci-fi farce, Space Doctor, at Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.
Ideally applicants will be available for both Festivals, but we also welcome applications from those who can only do Edinburgh.
The technician will be helping to design the show and operate lights and sound on a day to day basis. We're heading to outer space, and need the tech to match.
The stage manager will be helping coordinate this very prop and costume focussed production, as well as being a key member of the production team on the ground in Edinburgh.
Both roles will be expected to flyer before the shows, to be remunerated with a 3.5% profit share.
Comfortable, spacious accommodation is arranged for Edinburgh and is very competitively priced.
This is a really relaxed way to get involved with a professional Fringe show. Most of the company have done the Fringe before and we're putting a big emphasis on making sure everyone is happy and comfortable throughout.
Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions.
Contact: jamie.fenton@straightupproductions.com
Deadline for applications: Friday 11th May
