EPWORTH CHOIR

 

Stage Hands; A team of fit and healthy people are needed to put together and dismantle staging before and immediately after concerts, which are often held in The New Victoria Theatre in Woking or at Guildford Cathedral (also at other venues). This is currently carried out by singing members, which is not easily managed - the concerts themselves are very demanding!  There are often duties backstage during the performances, which need to be covered.  This is an ideal position for anyone interested in backstage theatre and at the same time offers an opportunity to help to raise money for charities, which is one of our main aims
