You’ll be responsible for building the show, preparing the prompt book, leading technical rehearsals, and calling all performances with precision.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build the show from rehearsal to stage, including prompt book creation and cueing structure

• Call all performances, manage show cues, and maintain consistency across venues

• Oversee technical rehearsals and liaise with venue tech teams

• Lead cast and crew with empathy and professionalism, addressing issues as they arise

• Maintain daily show reports and communicate with the Production Manager

• Support bump-in/out and ensure safety and show quality at every stop

You’ll need:

• 3+ years’ experience as a Stage Manager on touring or large-scale productions

• Strong technical understanding (lighting/sound/staging)

• Proven ability to lead a team under pressure and on the road

• Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills

• A collaborative mindset and positive team presence
