Location: The Court Theatre, Christchurch
Full time, 40 hours per week
Start date: 24 March 2025

The Court Theatre has been creating and sharing live theatre with audiences from across Ōtautahi and Waitaha for more than 53 years. Each season typically features 15 – 20 productions including commissioned works, New Zealand and Australasian premieres, contemporary through to classic drama as well as comedies, improvised comedy and musicals and a recent addition, the Rainbow Theatre Weekend. This year more than 80,000 patrons are expected to attend a Court Theatre performance.

As a producing theatre company, The Court Theatre is supported by a team of 40 permanent staff plus many artists and artisans dedicated to creating and staging theatre experiences of the highest quality. It is the proud home of The Jesters as well as the Youth Company and Jesters Youth Company.

The Court Theatre also delivers an annual Education, Learning and Engagement programme which offers training and performance opportunities to people of all ages. We are committed to theatre as a platform to enhance wider social outcomes and for providing opportunities for voices to be celebrated and uplifted that otherwise may be overlooked.

In May 2025, we will be moving into our permanent new home in the heart of the city. This brand-new, purpose-built facility will open new possibilities both in the way we work and how we engage with the communities of Ōtautahi Christchurch. As part of this move, we are on the hunt for a full time Stage Manager to ensure the logistical and technical aspects of rehearsals and productions run according to schedule and artistic vision.
