Paid Student Positions in TFMS

In addition to student aid programs available through the College, TFMS offers the following positions to assist students financially during their undergraduate careers:

Shop Assistants: Currently, TFMS offers seven shop assistant positions: four to be assigned to the technical director for work in the scene shop, three to the resident designer for work in the costume shop and in the areas of properties design and management. Shop assistants perform duties as assigned by the technical director and resident designer in all aspects of technical theater, and their responsibilities and working hours will be specified and arranged by their immediate supervisor. Students selected for these positions should possess knowledge in the proper use of machinery, tools, and other equipment in the scene or costume shops, although "on-site" training will be available for those without such knowledge. Students interested in a shop assistant position should contact the technical director or resident designer for further information.

Box Office Managers: Numbering two, the Box Office managers run the Box Office. They must be available during specified times to manage the office and to take phone calls and ticket reservations, and are responsible for handling proceeds from all performances of each main stage production and for keeping legible records of transactions. Students interested in fulfilling the duties of the Box Office managers should contact the theater operations specialist for further information.

Work-Study Assistants: Directed by the Financial Aid Office, work-study assistants, which currently number two in TFMS, are selected by the theater operations specialist and the resident designer. Students interested in work-study positions in TFMS will assist the theater operations specialist in all aspects of front-of-house activities and the resident designer in the costume shop. Interested students should contact the theater operations specialist and/or the resident designer for further information.
