We're recruiting!
posted by Yaz Al-Shaater on Monday, 26 May 2008
We're running another internship, for an assistant director on Auditorium.
We want an enthusiastic and energetic young theatre maker to help us realise a massive project...
You'll be working closely with the creative team on Auditorium, assisting in rehearsals, helping envision and plan our cyberformance, and immersing yourself in the project just as we will. We're looking for a collaborator; not a servant! The work will be mostly creative - we'll keep admin to a minimum: you'll only do boring stuff when we do boring stuff. And we're not fond of boring stuff.
We want somebody dedicated, enthusiastic, excitable, reliable, ridiculously hardworking, and intensely creative... just like any job in the theatre. If you think that's you, then you're probably lying to yourself. But get in touch if you're heading in that direction! The job will be demanding, but incredibly rewarding.
You'll need to be free to plunge into rehearsals and meetings throughout June - but we can arrange some flexibility if you have other commitments. There's also the potential to tour the Buxton & Edinburgh Fringes with us, over July and/or August. If you do, you'll get passes to see any show at the venues for free - well over 300 pieces of comedy, music, and all types of theatre.
Interested? First check out our page on Auditorium. Then browse our website, if you haven't already, to get an idea of who we are. Take a look at our working with Three's Company page. Then email us on iwanttowork@threescompany.co.uk, telling us why you want to work at Three's Company, and why we'd want you to work at Three's Company. We'll contact you to arrange an informal interview. CVs etc might help, but aren't compulsory. Your email doesn't need to be incredibly formal (as you probably guessed). Application close when we fill the post.
Give us a shout if you need any more info.
Get emailing!

End of the Summer Tour
posted by Yaz Al-Shaater on Tuesday, 28 August 2007
Well, it's over. Our last night was... well, last night, and that concluded our 46-date-tour.
Thanks to all of you that came to see us! We've yet to receive exact audience figures, but we know we had roughly one-and-a-half thousand audience through our doors between Crash Course and Play On Words, in London, Buxton and Edinburgh. The tour was a great success - we got some great reviews and feedback, and just about covered our costs - and has opened up some exciting possibilities for the future... but you'll have to come back later to find out what they are!
To keep up to date with what we're up to next, you can keep checking back to this blog (or subscribe by atom or rss) or join our mailing list.
Finally - congratulation to Tom - 21 today!

A video of our Edinburgh production of
Later Showers is now available. See the
Later Showers page for a trailer. A number of producers in London and elsewhere have expressed an interest in the show but, unfortunately, Michael, now at RADA is unable to perform outside of this training. We wish him the best with whatever rigorous stuff they must be putting him through!
There are already plans for a production of Later Showers in London in 2008, when Michael finishes at drama school.

Plane Of Existence picked up Best Musical Comedy at the Fringe Awards yesterday. Tom's script also received a nomination for Best New Writing.

Thank-you to everyone who came to see it and to all the musicians and crew involved.
We are now turning our attention to
Later Showers which we will be polishing this week before heading up to Edinburgh for the Fringe on August 1st. First performance at C Electric on August 3rd!
