All members of the 6-person company (5 actors and 1 Production Manager), will participate in set-up and strike for each performance. All company members will also have various responsibilities based on skill, interest, and need, to be assigned throughout the production process (i.e. fight captain, dance captain, assisting with props/costumes, promotional material distribution, etc.).
In addition to core performance/production responsibilities, company members may be asked to assist in teaching educational workshops. All training/instruction necessary will be supplied.
