This is a fantastic opportunity join our technical team on a casual basis – helping us deliver magical experiences in the new Cornwall Playhouse, our 1300 seat auditorium.  Shifts will vary in length depending on the size of the show and the time of the get-in.  Get-outs usually start at 1030 and generally last 2-6 hours.  This is an excellent opportunity to be part of something special and develop your technical theatre skills and knowledge.  This is a physical role and will involve being on your feet for much of the shift.  There is also some working at height.  Full training will be given.

What it’s like to work here

We’re opening a theatre in Truro, Cornwall’s capital city.  Full of intriguing spaces and steeped in history, our new building will enchant and inspire 300,000 people a year.

As a team, we’re all in!  We’re inclusive and open, kind and welcoming, meeting people as they are and responding to their needs and interests.  We’re enthusiastic, committed and constantly encouraging people to feel the power of performance in their lives.  Whether watching or taking part, we know what performance can do and we want to help every person in Cornwall feel it too.  We’re proud of our audience and how we programme the work they crave at a quality they deserve.  We’re restlessly curious about the world around us and the ways we can draw on that to make what we do even better.  We’re drawing on modern tools and technology as well as our deep-rooted heritage to make our new home the very best it can be.
