Looking for:

• A Sewing Machine + Costume Assistants
• Mic Fitters/Sound Operators
• Set Builders/Painters

This year's CUADC/Footlights panto is looking for more friendly faces to join our gingerbread team! You can devote as much or as little time as you like to! Whether it's a chill low commitment way of trying tech, or a relaxing destress paint session after handing in an essay. Most of all you get to be part of one of the biggests shows in the Cambridge Calander!

✂️Costume: Desperately looking for a sewing machine and someone who can spare an hour or so to perform some magic! There’s a huge range of costumes this year which offers the opportunity to create something you would love to make. Time commitment will vary from a simple suit alteration to helping with a huge ballgown! Previous sewing experience would be helpful.

🎶Sound: A team of mic fitters is needed to help fit cast with headset mics before each show. Mic fitting involves fitting the actors with their mics and transmitters before the shows. The jobs are very flexible, and it is possible to do as many or few shows as wanted. Also looking for one Sound Operator every night to click space bar on the QLab to play some sound effect cues. Both are awesome opportunity to see panto for free!

🛠Set: This year's set is going to be a whirlwind of colour and we need your help: from the villain's industrial lair, through the dappled glades of a candy-cane forest and even to the surface of Mars! As casual set builders and painters you can drop in whenever you want; we'll let you know when we're in the workshop.

Michaelmas Week 8

Looking for:

• Costume Designer
• Technician

Looking for a relaxed way into Cambridge theatre design/tech? Like the sound of a pantomime involving Marxism, Metatheatrics and Mutilation? We`re looking for people who are keen to help us get potentially the weirdest show of the year onto the stage - no experience necessary!

Costume designer:
We need someone with a huge imagination - our bizarre concept mixes the TV show Raven with the Wild West, somehow still based around Cambridge student stereotypes. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm! Send us an email (thb37 and drsp2) letting us know why you`re interested!

Technician:
This is perfect for someone who wants to get into all aspects of theatre tech - lighting, sound, set... No experience is necessary as we will show you how to use the system and this role is perfect for freshers (although of course people from any year may apply). Send us an email (thb37 and drsp2) letting us know that you're interested, and details of any tech you've done before (although "none" is perfectly ok!).

Deadline for applications: Thursday 15th November 11:59pm

Technical Director:

This show has it all, Detectives, Magic, Time Travel, Ghosts, Aliens, Fictional Cambridge colleges. What ideas do you have to make a poster that conveys the massive breadth of this show that captures audience attention while still being overall clear about what audiences may be in for.

'Charming, handsome, and with an opinion on everything, once upon a time Platonov seemed bound for greatness. Now he is a simple country schoolteacher and husband to a dutiful yet unimaginative wife. Arriving at the local estate one day for lunch with old friends, he is reunited with Sofya, a beautiful and recently married woman from his university days. Halfway between Hamlet and Don Juan, Platonov is desperate for a bit excitement and can't resist taking advantage of his one true gift: making himself utterly irresistible to women.

Adapted from Chekhov's untitled earliest complete work, which remained unperformed in his lifetime, Wild Honey is Michael Frayn's romp through the Russian countryside. A blending of the farcical and the tragic, this unique piece captures the combined absurdity and despair at the heart of Chekhov's scenario, creating the world of a gloriously bittersweet summer where none of the rules apply.'
