Things To Do
House Managers - The show starts with the House Manager. Generally responsible for all matters front of stage in the public domain.
House Stewards - There are normally 2 Stewards for every production and are there for anyone needing assistance in the auditorium.
Box Office - Ticket sales and seat allocation.
Publicity - Have you the design flair to create the shows posters, organise their printing and have the press release ready on time?
Acting - If, on the other hand you would like to act on stage, casting takes place about 12 weeks prior to the production. Dates and times are posted on Springline's website, notice board in Snells Hall foyer, in the monthly 'What's on in the Hendred' email letter as well as the Henred.org web site. Rehearsals take place 2-3 times a week, up to 12 weeks prior to a production. However, these timings are flexible. With one play a season and a Christmas pantomine, one must be right for you.
Stage Management - The stage manager is responsible for making sure there is a set on which to perform and a safe environment for both actors and crew backstage. He or she is also in total control of all backstage during show week.

Set Building and Design - This is a must for the budding and the gifted DIY'er. Set design is a working harmony between designer, director and the script. If you want to be involved with the backstage crew in any way, then please contact the director or stage manager of any production and join the team!
Lighting - Good lighting helps tell the story. It can create the mood, atmosphere and give a time of the scene to make the set come alive.
Sound - The art of noise, heard but not seen. It takes only a fingertip to make an impact, flying helicopters, crashing cars...even flushing the loo!
Properties - The props department is responsible for making sure that all the set dressing is in place for each scene and each actor has his or her items to take on stage. They are also the ghostly figures that you see dressed in black during scene changes.
Wardrobe - The wardrobe team has to costume the cast in the correct outfits for the period, gender and setting. It can be a challenge!
Music - Last but my no means least. This sets the scenes, creates the atmosphere and provides an environment for the performance to come alive.
