During White Horse Theatre's rehearsal season from August until
late October, the company offers five-week placements to univer-
students and graduates, in order to enable them to take a look
behind the scenes of the theatre, and to work as members of the
production team.
Students can gain experience in as many departments of the pro-
duction team as they wish - prop-making, prop-buying, costume-
making, scene-painting, theatre administration, and stage-man-
agement. They also have the opportunity to sit in on rehearsals
and watch the directors and actors at work.
Applicants should have good English skills and be interested in
creative handicrafts. The production team consists of some thirty
people, mainly British, and all with professional training in theatre
production skills - actors, directors, designers of sets and cos-
tumes, needleworkers, carpenters, welders, prop-makers, scene-
painters and stage-managers.
Students on placement are paid pocket-money of 50¤ per week
and get free accomodation.
