Application letter for Billy Elliot

Application letter for Billy Elliot

• 1.
  Dear Mr Hawkins, Iam writing to you in order to apply for a position within this year’s production Billy Elliot. I would like to apply to become the Deputy Stage Manager for multiple reasons. First of all this role is of interest to me as a career path, so would like to gain some experience with it before I fully commit to that career line. I feel I would fit the job as I am a hard-working and organised individual especially with regards to time management (evidenced by this year in Starlight Express, taking on 4 roles within the production; Media, ASM, Visuals and Sound), in which I feel are qualities required for this role. I have had previous experiences of being an Assistant Stage Manager two years in a row now; ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and ‘Starlight Express’, so have a good idea of what this role consists of. I am also fairly confident with communicating with teachers and have a good understanding of the other roles within the production as I have interest in them all, in which is also useful for this role. If I don’t get the chance to become a Deputy Stage Manager then I would like to apply to help with mic-ing the cast up of which I enjoyed doing, but would also like to get to know more about the desk and the technicalities of that, also to have more of an insight as to what a sound operator does. I feel that I would be suited to this role as I feel I have ‘an ear’ for sound and know what sounds right or wrong. I am also organised and able to follow a script well, if I needed to add a sound effect or turn a mic on at a specific time. Many thanks Elishia Selby
