Stage Manager Wanted for Elvis
Tue, 8 June 2010, 10:41 amARENA Arts & Entertainment Inc. is seeking an experienced STAGE MANAGER for it's next Community Theatre production.
ALL THE KING'S WOMEN
written by Luigi Jannuzzi
directed by Simon James
The show is a collection of monologues and playlets - stories of Elvis told through the eyes of 15 women. Some enthralled. Some appalled. All obsessed! From Tupelo, Mississippi - where an 11 year old Elvis wanted a BB Gun instead of a guitar - to the Steve Allen show, from President Nixon's office, to Andy Warhol's studio, from Cadillac Salesmen, to Graceland Guards, these are comedic and tragic tales surrounding the King of Rock'n'Roll. (No, you don't have to be an Elvis nut to do the show. I'm not, and I'm the director!) One of the scenes When Nixon Met Elvis will be ARENA's Dramafest entry. Dramafest is at Melville Theatre over the long weekend of 24-27th September.

REHEARSALS
First Reading on Sunday 4th July (bring fireworks! ..ahem..).
Rehearsals commence shortly thereafter and will start very light until mid-August. Rehearsal slots are Sunday afternoons and a weeknight or two. We rehearse at the PHPC Hall at Herdsman Lake. The SM wouldn't necessarily be required at every rehearsal. The SMing could be shared between people. Usual SM duties during rehearsals, booking them, co-ordinating the production requirements, props (we have a Costume Team already), backstge during the show etc (although the actors do all the minor set changes for each scene, but you could join them if you like, as they will be doing the changes to some choregraphed dance moves).
