Entry-Level Opportunities

There is no one way to an entry-level role at Electric Theatre.

For the company, it’s simply down to attitude, personality, and hard work. People have started their careers at Electric Theatre by making a good impression behind the bar at the local pub, or delivering an award-winning student film.

There are internships and graduate roles (usually junior artist positions) available. For those who aren’t sure about what they want to do, but would like to get some initial experience, applying for a front-of-house position could also be a good first step.
