Backstage Manager 18+: Liaise and communicate with check-in and the music player via headset to ensure the smooth running of the production. They oversee everything and everyone backstage, ensuring rules are followed and everyone respects the performers on stage.

WHY ARE SOLOS NOT AT THE GLASSHOUSE ?

2018

Published by Change.org ·
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Recently it was brought to my attention that CSU was doing exams on the Glasshouse stage YES the stage & this got me thinking about the fact that our soloists are performing in a school hall does anyone else see the irony here?.

The Glasshouse did cost the community a huge amount of money but it also cost the performing arts community the loss of affordable performance space. For the council to serve the community properly proper consultation should be taking place to ensure the Performing Arts community is having their needs met because currently, they are not.

Please help us to convince the council to allow our kids to utilise this community space to the fullest. PLEASE Sign our petition & SHARE! SHARE! SHARE!.
