About the Season
Our productions take place in a black box style space with flexible seating and setting arrangements. We are located in downtown Somerset, and the space can hold 40-90 audience members, depending on the stage set up.
- Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley will open on December 20, 2018. It is set following the events of the literature classic, Pride and Prejudice.
- Boats Against the Current will open on February 28, 2019. It is an abstract representation of a man’s experience as he battles dementia.
- Pirates of Penzance will open on June 6, 2019. It will be set in a late Renaissance period, but a somewhat romanticized version of it, as in the The Princess Bride.
Description and responsibilities:
Designers will work with the director, stage manager and other crew members of a production to design and execute production elements. You are expected to attend production meetings, all technical rehearsals, and strike.
You will create a design plot and a visual or audible representation of your design (renderings/model/etc), and will help to coordinate the execution of their designs by building, renting, or sourcing the items needed. FbTC will assist the process by helping to coordinate volunteers as needed.
