Actor-
Auditions for roles in each OCT production are open to anyone who is interested in performing. No prior theatre experience is necessary. Actors must
attend all rehearsals and performances. We do not use understudies.
Back to List
Stage Manager-
This person is an assistant to the Director, and supervises the cast and crew during performances. He or she stays off stage, but is in touch with
the sound and light crew in the tech booth and assistant stage managers on the other side of the stage via wireless intercom. The Stage Manager is
expected to attend all rehearsals and must be present for each performance. There are other responsibilities, including recording the Director's
instructions, and giving line cues for early rehearsals once the cast is off book. Previous experience as an Assistant Stage Manager is helpful,
but not absolutely necessary.
Back to List
Assistant Stage Manager-
One or two Assistant Stage Managers are used backstage for each production. They assist performers in making their entrances at the appropriate
times, and help assure that actors have the necessary personal props. They tell the Stage Manager whether the actors and crew are in position.
Assistant Stage Managers act as the Stage Manager's eyes and ears backstage for all technical preparations, and also help coordinate the set changes
called for throughout the performance.
Back to List
Lighting Technician-
Following completion of the light plot by the lighting designer, volunteers are needed to hang lighting instruments, place color gels on lights,
and focus the beams. During performances, lighting technicians operate followspots and the lighting control board. Lighting Technicians need to
be present at all technical rehearsals and per-formances, to execute the lighting cues. Previous experience is not necessary, but the person must
be trained on the theatre's lighting equipment.
Back to List
Sound Technician-
Following the completion of the sound plot by the sound designer, the sound technician prepares microphones for each performance and works in the
booth during the show to insert sound effects on the appropriate cue. The Sound Technician is expected to be at all tech and dress rehearsals and
all performances. Previous experience is not necessary, but the person must be trained on the sound equipment in the theatre's tech booth.
Back to List
Properties Master or Mistress-
The Props Master works with the director to decide what props are needed for the show, and then coordinates the gathering of those items. This
may involve pulling props from our storage and/or locating props from other sources. The Props Master is also responsible for making certain that
props are returned to the proper place after the production closes. The Props Master may or may not be a part of the stage crew to pre-set props
for actors, and then to put them away after each performance.
Back to List
Properties Crew-
The Props Crew works behind the scenes to assure that all props are in the correct locations before and during performances, and are put away after
each final curtain. They must be on hand for the final week of rehearsals and for performances. No previous backstage experience is necessary.
This is an ideal position for getting to know the "how-tos" of backstage work.
Back to List
Set Construction & Painting-
Volunteers are needed to help build and paint sets which have been designed for a show. This work is usually done on Saturdays beginning at
9:00 a.m. No special skills are necessary, and tools and equipment are provided.
Back to List
Costume Assistants-
Some costumes may be purchased or rented, but others must be created to specifications for a show. Costume Assistants work with the show's Costume
Lead to create new costumes, or to alter existing ones. Such volunteers may be called upon for sewing, or for decorating hats or shoes, etc.
Back to List
Ushers &/or Concessions-
A crew of ushers is coordinated by the House Manager for each per-formance. Ushers come to the theatre an hour and fifteen minutes before the show
opens, and then assist our patrons in finding their seats. Some members of this crew may also handle the sales of con-cessions during intermission.
No experience is necessary, but good people skills are important since these are our most visible ambassadors.
Back to List
Box Office Volunteers-
A single person is needed prior to each performance to be in the box office to sell tickets for that evening's show, and to distribute tickets
to patrons who have purchased them in advance on a "will call" basis. Good people skills are important.
