Join
the Crew

Stupid Fucking Bird is Aaron Posner's bitingly funny and deeply moving take on Chekhov's The Seagull. Artists and lovers collide at a lakeside house while chasing love, fame, and someone to blame. We're staging it in a real warehouse, with the theater-making visible: backstage scaffolding lit, live music, and moments of audience interaction. Expect on-campus promotional stunts, experimental design & direction, and an ensemble-driven process, as we attempt to find "new forms".

We're looking for a production team that's excited by metatheatricality and is comfortable working their craft in-front of an audience (for some positions). We need people in all departments: stage management, lighting, sound, scenic, costume, props, media, marketing, and publicity. If you like collaborative problem-solving and a little bit of chaos (hopefully in a good way!), apply below. We'd love to have you on board!

Applications are rolling with priority deadline April 10th.
