Searching for Jobs…
Below are places specifically aimed at live entertainment job seekers, be they performers, technicians, designers, stage managers, or whomever on stage or off. It is worth it to note, however, that other job posting sites and social media sites are worth looking at as well. Some suggestions (besides just searching “theatre jobs” on your favorite search engine) are LinkedIn (also good for networking), Glassdoor, Monster, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, SimplyHired, and LinkUp. These are not the limit, so search.
