This role is ideal for someone passionate about the performing arts and eager to gain hands-on experience in theatre production.

The successful candidate will be responsible for a variety of tasks, including assisting with set construction, managing props, coordinating schedules, and supporting rehearsals. This position requires excellent organizational skills, the ability to multitask, and a proactive attitude.
