Theatre West offers two types of casting and tech staff possibilities:
- Community members, unpaid, who are cast in one or two shows. Volunteer tech help is encouraged.
- Company members, paid. Tech staff are given duties aligned with their area of expertise. Actors are cast in shows, the Cabaret, assist with TOFY camp, and may have tech or other duties assigned to them. Dormitory housing provided if needed.
Community members are given reasonable scheduling accommodations. Company members must be available for the entire workday, the entire season.

Company Members: An actor’s typical workday is made up of two segments: 12:30 to 5:00 and 6:30 to 10, 6 days weekly. Most Cabaret rehearsals will take place in the morning, 9 to 11:30. TOFY camp begins at 8:30 and releases around 2. Workday for Tech staff is determined by the TD, typically 9 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 5, except on show days. For non-local company members, housing is provided in a dormitory. You will likely have one roommate and shared bathrooms. All company actors, dancers, and technical staff will be working around and with power tools, paints, and other materials typical of a backstage environment. In addition to rehearsals, company members may be asked to work backstage, front of house, and participate in local marketing events.
