Stage Manager/Performer

The Utterly Revolting Science Show is the sister show to Rude Science. These are world-class science shows. Candidates need to be tireless SM/performers, adept at dealing with theatre tech teams, projectors and screens (floor-mounted), and confident appearing in front of boisterous 5-13yr-olds and parents. Demos include noisy explosions, smoke, food, latex props.

You will be the stage manager lead and your co-presenter will take a larger presenting role, but you need to be happy appearing on stage as a character – based on you! You will need to work seamlessly as a hard-working two-person touring team, solving problems as they crop up and making sure that this brilliant show happens twice every performing day to a world-class standard.

PLEASE NOTE this role is only open to candidates who have the flexibility to commit to EVERY date that the show is booked in for, plus extra dates as they are booked in (usually with 6 months notice). We understand that this may not suit all applicants, but it is essential. See dates listed so far at www.gastronaut.uk
