2019 Gaiety Panto Stage Manager
We are looking for a Stage Manager to run our panto from 4th November 2019 until 5th January 2020. Background The 2019 panto, Jack and the Beanstalk, will be the Gaiety’s first in house panto. Under the leadership of director Ken Alexander, we have put together an outstanding creative team and we are in the final stages of casting. The show will involve 10 cast, three teams of junior dancers and a live band of three musicians. Set is being provided by Glitter Pantomimes and will involve several set changes and flying. There will be some pyro and possibly other SFX, and a giant, a cow and a beanstalk. However The Gaiety is not a big theatre (500 seats) and so there will not be major effects or heavy scenery etc.
Applications
