General info e-mail: starlightcircleplayers_at_ yahoo.com.
Please place the job title in the subject line.
Current Positions:
Chief costumer needed: Creative and resourceful costumer with ability to go from modern day to historical to the fantastic at will. The Costume Chief forms his/her "team" for each production, works closely with and reports to the governance board (Core Group) and with directors, playwrights, and art directors. Your designs are the artistic "look" of any production, you provide a "continuance of design" from one production to the next and you oversee all costuming needs and care of all costumes owned by the troupe. This is the perfect position for a skilled costumer seeking to build a portfolio. (We love costumes!)

The roles of maintaining TSCP are a little bit more free-form than in the usual theater company. We learn as we grow and gain experience. The mandate as administrators is not to close boundaries, but to keep doors open and the atmosphere welcoming and with an eye to the inclusion of magical/ritual work in a theatrical context. (In short: all TSCP members have kibbutz-ing rights.) Any person taking on a directorial role should keep this in mind.
Duties:
- Serves as the contact person for and conducts the initial interviews for potential directors, art directors, designers and playwrights.
- Oversees and sets standards for, supervises, and evaluates - in collaboration with TSCP playwrights/directors and art directors for plays and events - all artistic personnel including tech directors, performers, designers, and stage managers.

- Remains in close communications with individual directors, tech personnel and individual art directors for each play or event.
- Collects and does the "first round" review of play and project submission before the founding writer/directors review submissions

- Attends any retreats the troupe engages in and assists in facilitation of such events.
- Forwards misplaced paperwork to the appropriate person
Web designer - Design and maintain this website.
Marketing Person - Advertising, graphics, copywriting, promotions, and marketing. A great volunteer job for someone looking for real-world non-profit experience. There is a strong possibility that we could provide a for-credit internship for the right person.
