A career in prop making could see you producing anything from a medieval banqueting table to a 15^th Century manuscript or a motorized bull.

Our prop department makes, sources and buys all the props, furniture and set dressing for our shows. The team uses a huge range of materials and techniques, including carpentry, joinery, casting, painting, graphics, welding and sewing.

You’ll need to have a range of making skills, be good at time management and will be asked to change or fix props in a very short time. At busy times you will need to work long hours and weekends.

Qualifications: You don’t need a degree or a formal qualification, although relevant qualifications in arts, carpentry or model making could help. Most important is skill and aptitude in one or more areas of prop making, and an interest in theatre craft.
