BACKSTAGE HELPER WANTED
Drawbridge Puppet Theater is currently looking for a Backstage Helper to assist the main puppeteers during the performances of our puppet shows. Full training will be provided. Duties will vary depending on the show title, but will include opening and closing the stage curtain, volume adjustments on our backstage computer, helping place or remove props during scene changes, and occasionally operating a shadow puppet, or switching shadow screens. Interested individuals should be at least 16 years of age. No heavy lifting will be involved, but helpers should be dexterous and light on their feet.

Hours will be Sunday mornings from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (which includes one full puppet performance), but may on occasion extend to early afternoon if there's a private birthday party. Additional days and hours may also be available. The pay for this position is $20 per performance, with each performance lasting between 30 to 40 minutes.

This is an ideal opportunity for art, theater and music students; and would look great on a college application. Adults are welcome too, particularly those who've always wanted to experience being part of a professional puppet performance.

If interested, please call 978-582-1578, or email us at drawbridgetheater@gmail.com, to arrange an interview.
