🎭 Love theatre but prefer the spotlight behind the scenes?

Ever dreamed of calling the shots from the wings, cueing the lights, or making the set come alive? This is your chance to be part of the real theatre magic - the kind that happens just out of sight, but makes all the difference on stage.

We're on the lookout for backstage rockstars to join our VTA family - lighting techs, rigging wranglers, set ninjas, and quick-change champions. No cape required, just a love for theatre and a willingness to jump in!

✨ No experience? No problem. We'll show you the ropes (literally).
🎬 Ready to make the magic happen? Now’s the time to raise your hand and step into the action!
