Designers: Scenic, Lighting, Costume, Hair & Makeup, Props, & Sound

Starting from the text of the play and initial discussions with the director, designers build the visual world of the show. Through production meetings, rehearsal reports, and conversations with the directing team, designers create sets, lighting, costumes, props, and sound that serves the needs of the actors, the vision of the director, and the intent of the author. While BHCT has a good amount of items in stock, designers are also given a budget to purchase items or buy supplies to construct items. Time commitment and complexity of design is dictated by the script. Designers are supported by the Technical Director, the Costume Shop Manager, and the Artistic Director. ​

​ Directors

BHCT relies heavily on our directors for the organization and execution of each individual production. We ask directors new to the mainstage to first work with us as an Assistant Director or as a Director for the Reading & Discussion Series. All directors are responsible for casting, coaching actors, and, in the case of the mainstage, overseeing that the work of the whole production team is cohesive and supports the story of the script. Assistant Directors may be tasked with overseeing specific areas of the production in line with their experience and interest. Reading Directors are asked to focus on the interpretation and acting of the text as the readings intentionally have limited tech. All directors are supported by the Artistic Director. 

Stage Manager / Assistant Stage Manager

The Stage Manager assists the director by ensuring communication, organization, and safety for the whole production team. The Stage Manager is the first person to arrive and the last person to leave every rehearsal and performance. The Stage Manager is also responsible for running the board from the booth during performances. A good stage manager will be organized, intuitive, and an excellent communicator. The Assistant Stage Manager is the stage manager’s eyes and ears backstage and on the deck during performance. They may also assist in rehearsals as needed. In addition to stage managers for individual productions, BHCT is seeking a stage manager to oversee the full Reading & Discussion series – this is a smaller time commitment over the course of the full season and an excellent starting point for someone interested in stage management. All Stage Managers are supported by the Artistic Director. 

Dramaturgs

Dramaturgs provide the relevant research for directors, designers, and actors to fully understand and interpret the world of the play. BHCT is currently seeking dramaturgical support for the following mainstage shows: The Revolutionists, Fiddler on the Roof, and Alabama Story. Interested dramaturgs should email merlyn@bhct.org

 Musicians

BHCT’s Music Directors recruit musicians on a show by show basis. If you have musical talents and would like to be considered, please email merlyn@bhct.org
