Horrible experience, will never work here again. Save yourself the hassle and audition for a local community theatre instead.

I’m good off another stint here.

Not fun

I might as well have been an indentured servant. I got brought on just as their show season ended so instead of learning how a professional theater works, I had to do all the things the managers deemed beneath them: cleaning the carpet, wiping bird poo off the windows, emptying dehumidifiers, etc. a lot of passive aggressive comments too. one time, there was a garbage can that fell over into the bushes and the manager took a picture, printed it out, and handed it to us to go pick it up instead of, y'know, doing it themselves. the artistic director was also never there. in the four months I was there, they only came in about three times. And what was really annoying was that all this cleaning stuff would be done in the about an hour or two but I was still scheduled to be there another six hours and there'd be nothing else to do. Yet they'd get mad that I would just be standing around. I'm pretty sure I did an inventory check four times a week because that's their go to task for you. If this is what all professional theaters are like, forget it.

toxic work environment, bad pay, daily 3 hour commute. actors deserve better if the creatives expect such "excellence"

Nightmare. Nuff said.

One of the worst jobs I’ve ever done. The creatives have a very “my way or the highway” attitude with ridiculous deadlines and requests. I was given a small salary but then expected to do tasks outside my job description. Meanwhile the higher ups refuse to do the simplest things like take out the trash or bring in mail. My hair actually started falling out because I was so stressed. Do not work here (edited)

The theatre is amazing. The creative teams are stacked with a whose who! The pay leaves something to be desired but its close to NYC. You rehearse and commute daily to CT. The staff is amazing. The productions are top notch.
