NOTE: GreenStage is an all volunteer organization, but we do provide a stipend to all actors and members of the production team as a thank-you and to help cover travel expenses.
BASICS – Stage managers should have reliable transportation to get to and from rehearsals. We are planning to have rental vans to transport props, costumes, scenic pieces, and tech equipment for performances.
Each of our three productions tour to several different locations in and around Seattle. Stage Managers help coordinate the transport of props, costumes, and other items to performance spaces. In general, we travel light, scenic pieces are minimal.
The season runs from July 7 through August 12. We perform in public parks in Seattle, Fall City, Lynnwood and Burien. Performances are Friday – Sunday evenings, with matinees on weekends. Each production has around 15 total performances.
Rehearsals start in June and are on weekday evenings and weekend days – usually 5-6 days a week. Tech is the week prior to opening, but there are no long days during tech. In general, rehearsals are 4-5 hours per rehearsal day.
For performances, because we perform outdoors in public spaces, technical needs for our shows are simple. There are no sound or light cues to call. We perform outdoors in public parks, mainly during daylight hours. We set up simple footlights for evening shows, and have small sound system to amplify the show which is operated by a sound tech.
