They Don't Want You to Know This... A Secret About Theatre Careers!



Psst... lean in closer because we're about to reveal an exciting secret that not everyone talks about. Ready? There's a whole world of career opportunities in theatre beyond just acting, and it's a discovery that will surely pique your interest!


Most people think theatre is about being in the spotlight—actors dazzling on stage, soaking up applause. But guess what? The magic of theatre relies on a whole army of creative and talented professionals working behind the scenes too! And the best part? These roles are not just as thrilling, but also vital and integral to the industry as those on stage!


The same wide variety of choices are open in the theatre. Jobs range from director, writer, actor, and stage management to producer, hair and make-up artist, lighting technician, and so much more! Think about it—without someone designing the set, who creates the world of the play? Without lighting technicians, how would the mood shift so magically? How would the show run smoothly without stage managers keeping everything in sync?

And it doesn't stop there! The film industry offers as many dynamic roles, from editors and sound designers to costume designers and production coordinators. Imagine helping create blockbuster scenes or indie masterpieces from behind the camera—there is so much creativity waiting to be explored!


So, what suits you? Maybe you're a storyteller at heart—consider writing scripts or directing. Love working with people? Stage management could be your thing. Are you obsessed with details? Try set design or hair and make-up. More of a tech genius? Lighting and sound could be calling your name. The possibilities are endless, and your skills and passions await exploring!

Here's the truth: theatre and film have opportunities for every skill set and passion. You don't have to be front and centre to have a successful, creative career. Behind every outstanding performance is a team making it all possible—and you could be part of it!


So, if you've ever dreamed of working in the arts but didn't think you fit the "star of the show" mould, think again. The stage is waiting—and there's a perfect role for you.
