I worked a 6 week contract at the end up their summer season last year and had a great time!!
pros:
• great folks working For this theatre
• excellent quality shows and performances
• loved pretty much every performer on this contract
• cutest little town in the Berkshire’s
• artistically fulfilling
• 500/wk min for non-eq
• biweekly cleaning for cast housing
• shared company cars, walkable to theatre from cast housing
• fun and healthy work/play balance
cons:
• shared rooms in housing
• housing is large old houses that need serious updating
• backstage area is pretty small
• Theatre could use some updating
i would definitely do another contract with the Mac! however a lot of company members had contracts that last up to i believe 14 weeks, so they might’ve had a different experience. For my 6 weeks I had a great time.
Agreed! I made great money on my last contract here. The costuming and wigs are unbeatable! It's some of the best styling I've ever experienced in my theatre career and everyone is so kind and wonderful.
