NYMT Logo

Assistant Stage Managers

Work alongside a professional Stage Manager and Deputy Stage Manager to support the production through rehearsals, Tech week and shows. You'll produce show paperwork, support the rehearsal room, make and manage props and run a backstage track. No production is complete without a reliable Stage Management team that are ready to solve problems at any time.

 
 

Lighting Assistants

Meet with the lighting designer to hear about their vision for the show and how they have created the lighting plan. You'll get the opportunity to spend time with the production electrician, rigging and focusing lights as well as installing  any set lighting effects. During the tech and shows you'll be operating a follow spot under the direction of the Lighting Designer or Associate Lighting Designer.

Sound Assistants

The Sound department are a vital part of putting on a Musical. You'll spend time with all parts of the sound team and learn about the different roles of a Sound Number 1, 2 and 3. During the technical rehearsals and shows you'll help manage microphones on the cast, solve problems with the team and ensure the show is sounding great! 

 
 

Wardrobe Assistants

As a costume assistant you'll hear from the costume designer on their vision for the productions costume. During the rehearsals you'll work with the costume supervisor to sort through the pulled costume, fit the costumes to the cast and make alterations. This may include making costumes from scratch. In the Theatre you'll get the costumes ready for technical rehearsals and have a backstage track to support any quick changes and costume needs.
