SHERLOCK HOLMES IN REHEARSAL

As winner of our 2006 New Works Festival, we offered the writers the option to fine-tune what was already one of the funniest shows ever seen for a full production.  In the process of re-writing the show, the authors had the unexpected privilege of having their show accepted as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival last fall where it received critical acclaim. The musical has been re-cast with the finest of our local performers and is in preparation for a March 13 opening.  Watch this space for further details!

Backstage

Stage Manager Needed

This person must be able to communicate well and handle a high level of detail.  Multi-tasking, and consistent positive, problem-solving behavior while under pressure, are imperative qualities.  The Stage Manager works closely with the Creative Team and is the connection between the creative process and the actual performance.  The job is very much about delegation and follow-up, so people skills are essential.  Hours are scheduled according to production needs.  Competitive salary and health benefits.  For more information, contact kskrzesz@ClearSpaceProductions.org or call 302.644.3810 ext. 3.
