This is just a Tribute

20:00, Mon 24th February 2020 at ADC Theatre (Bar)
Lent Week 6

Looking for:

• Musical Director
• Makeup artist
• Publicity Designer

LOOKING FOR A PROD TEAM FOR A NIGHT OF TRIBUTE ACTS

We need a MUSICAL DIRECTOR, a MAKEUP ARTIST and a PUBLICITY DESIGNER to help us put on this show.

The show will feature a group of Cambridge students who do impressions, tributes or homages to great performers and finally give them a platform to show their talents to the world for one night only

We are looking for people who can make them look and sound as near to the real thing as possible.

Our MUSICAL DIRECTOR would be required to do a couple of sessions with the performers to help them tighten up their performance, and play keys where needed on the night (if the performer doesn't want a backing track)

Our MAKEUP ARTIST will be in charge of making sure the acts look the part in terms of hair and makeup. We hope to get a really diverse group of characters (from Marilyn Monroe to Shrek) so be prepared to get inventive.

Last but by no means least we need a PUBLICITY DESIGNER to make us a lovely poster to make people want to see it

If any of these interest you then please send us an email, saying why you want to do the project, what you can bring to the team and what celebrity tribute acts you would most like to see. No previous experience required!

• Any previous experience

Sound Designer

I have been personally informed by the writers that this show will include 'many a banger', so if you love to get your groove on we want to hear from you!! A lot of our physical comedy will also be in need of sound accompaniment, and with whole parts heavily reliant on sound, this is your chance to give an important and yet often overlooked department the acknowledgement it deserves!! In your application please include:

• What interests you about the show
• How you imagine sound's role in physical comedy
• Any previous experience

Set Designer

From hospital to funeral, corpsing is going to need an imaginative and resourceful set which always 'sets' the scene without providing constraints to scene changes. The central character, Christina, will be transferred from hospital bed to coffin, and we're hoping for inventive prop-making and set designing and building to ensure Christina's journey is made easily and in style. In your application, please include:

• What interests you about the show
• Ideas about multi-functionality in set and props
• Any previous experience, both in set designing and building

Costume Designer

Corpsing crosses both cultures and generations, and even includes characters who themselves have a flair for dressing people up!! Therefore, we're going to need costumes which reflect and respect these differences, and which continue the creativity we're looking for in all departments!! In your application, please include:

• What interests you about the show
• What you think is required of costume in a play exploring similarities and differences across different cultures and backgrounds
• Any previous experience

Stage Manager

Corpsing will involve multiple set changes, props, and a variety of different characters, meaning we're going to need a competent and confident stage manager to keep everything running safely and smoothly!! If this sounds like it could be you, we'd love to hear from you!! In your application, please include:

• What interests you about the show
• How you think you'll handle multiple set changes and a variety of props
• Any previous experience

Publicity Designer

Corpsing is a play with flair, and we want this to come across in our publicity!! We're looking for a creative and courageous publicity designer who will get this gem of a play (I didn't write it, I'm allowed to say that) noticed amongst all the week 8 LTM hype!! In your application, please include:

• What interests you about the show
• Your ideas on getting across the 'dark comedy' element in our publicity
• How you plan to make use of the LTM hype
• Do you have any ideas for publicity aside from the usual headshots and posters?
• Any previous experience/examples of your work

• Costume Designer

ANGELS IN AMERICA PART 2 HAS REOPENED FOR COSTUME DESIGNER

We're looking for someone to join our already fantastic team and help source us some costumes! Please email applications to lar58with thoughts of any of the bullet points below, or drop us a message and we can arrange a call/meeting to chat about things if you'd prefer! See below for detailed descriptions of the role, but the main thing we're looking for is passion and creativity!

Tell us:

• Why you want to be involved in Angels in America - Part 2: Perestroika
• Any previous or relevant experience you might have
• Any creative or general ideas you might have for the show where applicable
• Anything else you'd like us to know as part of your application!

Costume Designer
Most of the costumes in the play need to be pretty naturalistic, so you don't need to be a whizz with a sewing machine, as much of it will be a case of sourcing the right items! There is also plenty of room to get more creative with the more magical elements of the play, such as the appearance of seven angels in Heaven, but we are keen to tailor costumes to the creativity of our designer, so if any of this interests you, please drop us a line!
