The British Shakespeare Company are seeking the following staff for 2010:

Company Manager: This important job includes the day to day support of the actors during rehearsals and on tour. The company manager deals with accommodation, travel and is the first port of call for the actors at all venues and on tour.

Freelance Publicist: This post will include all press contact for the British Shakespeare Company including arranging press previews, reviews, celebrity interviews, putting out national and local press releases etc.

Stage Manager: This person will be responsible for liasing with all the venues for technical requirements, full set up of staging, lighting and sound. They would benefit from some experience of working in open air touring.

Book Keeper (Part Time): This person will be responsible for dealing with all book keeping but will also manage the bank account, pay wages, pay and chase invoices and manage cashflow. This is a part time job and would only take one day a week even during busy times.

The British Shakespeare Company is looking for a producer to join the company.

This person will replace Jo Short who although she only worked with us for a short time had a great impact on the company. Among other things she designed proposals to send out across the UK and Europe that will see us expanding our work this year and into the future. She encouraged us to form producing partnerships a policy that will continue into the future. In the past we produced alone hiring sites for this purpose. She will return to her native Australia to found her own theatre and we wish her great success. She will be greatly missed.

PRODUCER: The Producer’s jobs will be diverse and as well as the normal creative work they will also include dealing with things specific to open air theatre such as organising the outside infrastructure and security. We are a creative organisation and there will be many chances to take charge of specific parts of the open air touring as well as total control of future diversity. This post may even suit a theatre director but one that must also have a genuine desire to be in management. The BSC Artistic Director also produces for, directs and manages productions.

We are looking for an unpaid intern to work one or two days a week in our London office. You will work directly with Robert J. Williamson on all aspects of our forthcoming tour from helping with mail outs to liaising with agents for casting. This will help to cut some costs for the company in the current climate and will offer a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of Shakespearian theatre production.
