The theatre's busy programme of work is presented simultaneously across two performance spaces; the Main House (217 seats) and the Studio (54 seats).

As a predominantly receiving house, we host a mixture of comedy, theatre and children's shows from established and emerging artists. Everything from a one night work-in-progress performance to a several week run. Additionally, the building is used for a variety of production rehearsals and development, much of which is undertaken as part of the organisation's Artist Development platform - Pleasance Futures.

The Pleasance also produce or co-produce a handful of new works over the year and the Technical Department play an important role in supporting the needs of these productions alongside a freelance Production Manager and creative team.

The Venue Technician is an entry level role, perfect for someone with a good foundation knowledge of technical theatre (lighting, video, sound) with the motivation to develop their skills and experience. They will have good communication skills and the ability to work well with visiting companies and staff. They will have a can-do attitude to problem solving and will contribute to a welcoming and supportive environment for all staff and visitors.

With the support of the Technical Manager and Senior Venue Technician, they will provide excellent technical support to visiting companies, ensuring that their requirements are catered for, schedules are maintained and safe working practices are adhered to at all times. The Venue Technician will strive to go above and beyond to exceed the visiting company's expectations, ranging from established artists through to newcomers.
