Costume, Technical & Stage Management

The Colorado Shakespeare Festival presents its 53rd Summer season, a season of classical and contemporary plays staged in the historic 1,004-seat Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre and the 406-seat indoor Main Stage University theatre, both located on the CU Boulder campus. All shows will be played in repertory beginning in July to mid August.

The productions will be rehearsed and mounted in 6-10 weeks with opening dates starting in July. Most of the costume and technical staff are to arrive in Boulder in early to mid-June and are under contract for 7 to 12 weeks. The stage management staff and some production staff members will be asked to arrive early. Audience Services staff arrivals vary. We have a six-day work week, with one full day off each week. All staff members should anticipate 40-48 hours of work per week during the rehearsal/build period.

Food and medical insurance (beyond the on-the-job accident insurance provided by the University) are the responsibility of each individual. CSF contracts with a local housing company, and can provide housing as part of compensation package. We usually accommodate four people in each furnished, two-bedroom unit. You must provide your own bedding and kitchen utensils.

In mid to late January, 2010 we will begin reviewing applications. We will continue to accept applications until all positions are filled. We will also be attending SETC in March. We plan to complete the selection of the production and audience services staff by mid April. Thank you for your interest in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
