DESCRIPTION

Bristol Riverside Theatre is a mid-sized regional theatre whose mission is to engage audiences and artists with exceptional performances, inspired writing, and superior productions that motivate us to think harder, to feel more deeply, to laugh more joyfully, and to reflect on ourselves and the world in which we live.

DESCRIPTION

This is an entry level position and a great opportunity to gain experience under the mentorship of the General Manager and Producing Directors. Each week, the Apprentice can expect to work roughly 20/hrs in Company Management and 20/hrs in another area of their choosing. This is a learning position and almost any part of the theatre operation is available to apprentices to observe or participate in.
