See How They Run
A clever comedy set in a Rural English Vicarage during WWII. This side-splitting farce follows a vibrant cast of guests, including a Vicar and his American wife, a cockney maid, an old dowager who has a few too many drinks, a dignified bishop and an escaped POW. Mistaken identities, mayhem and merriment arise, leading to a chaotic series of door-slamming and wild chases.

Including songs such as “Anything you can do, I can do better” and “No Business like Show Business”.
The Great Western Melodrama
The play must go on! This zany show stitches together the classic American Melodrama and the modern mishaps of shows that go wrong. When the cast of a Saloon show gets quarantined and the stagehands have to save the show (horribly miscast and under rehearsed), romance, poetry and victory saves the day against the villainous Jail breaker!
We are also seeking a number of technical/company positions to fill, including a Full time Stage Manager, Box Office Manager and Concessions Manager. If applying for a technical position, please email your resume to audi...@westgatetheatre.com. For more information about technical roles, including pay and contract dates, please refer to the bottom of this notice.
Performers are also expected to participate in our Variety Act and Preshow. Performers also work as theatrical staff, including selling concessions, seating audience members and cleaning the theatre.
