Join the Backstage Magic at the Milton Theatre!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring a Broadway-caliber production to life? From the moment the curtain rises to the final bow, our Assistant Stage Managers (ASMs) are the heartbeat of the show — and now we’re looking for YOU to join our Mainstage team!

The Milton Theatre has brought you unforgettable productions like West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, and Legally Blonde — and we’re not slowing down!

As an ASM, you’ll go beyond ushering to experience the full journey of a show:

  • Be part of rehearsals and see the creative process unfold.

  • Help coordinate props, costumes, and set changes during performances.

  • Work alongside our incredible cast, crew, and creative team to make the magic happen.

No prior stage management experience? No problem! We’ll provide the training and support you need — all you need to bring is enthusiasm, reliability, an eye for details, and a willingness to learn.

This is a contract stipend position — we are especially looking for local candidates who can commit to production schedules at the Milton Theatre.

Interested? Send your resume to [email protected] and tell us you’d like to join the ASM roster!
