Theatre Access Project is looking for a Set Designer and Costume Designer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
We’re a new nonprofit based in Drexel Hill, providing tuition-free theatre education and performance opportunities for young people in Greater Philadelphia. This is our first production, and we’re looking for people who would enjoy helping us build something from the ground up.
Both designers will work with Director Solomon Hess and Artistic Director Michael Fortna on a production featuring performers ages 8–17.
Set Designer: Help create an imaginative, practical design for our space, including sketches, materials suggestions, and guidance for our volunteer build team. Construction responsibilities would be discussed before committing.
Costume Designer: Develop the look of the characters, help source and adapt costumes, and coordinate fittings and alterations. We expect to use a mix of borrowed, donated, purchased, and handmade pieces.
Our target stipend is $500 for each position**, with approved materials expenses covered separately. Both roles will have volunteer support and may also have student interns assisting.
For those interested, additional paid opportunities to teach masterclasses for kids and teens may also be available, with compensation discussed separately.
We’d like to bring people on board soon, with most of the work starting after the holidays. Performances are April 30, May 1, May 7, and May 8, 2027, at Drexel Hill United Methodist Church.
We’d love to hear from experienced designers, recent graduates, and others with relevant experience who are interested in working with a small, growing youth theatre company.
