Volunteers

Help create our debut event!

Oh So Stagey Fan Fest is coming, and we need brilliant, passionate people to help us bring it to life.

Whether you're a seasoned event pro, a theatre lover with a skill to share, or someone who just wants to be at the heart of something truly special, we'd love to have you on our team.

This isn't just volunteering. It's being part of of our debut event!

What does volunteering look like?

On the day, our volunteers are the backbone of the event. You'll be part of a skilled, friendly team helping to make sure every single attendee has the best possible experience, whether it's welcoming them through the doors, keeping the stages running smoothly, championing the vendors or reassuring visitors.

We match every volunteer to a role that suits their skills and interests, so you'll never feel thrown in at the deep end.

What we're looking for

We're building a team with real skills and genuine passion. We'd especially love to hear from people with a background in any of the following:
  • Accessibility & Neurodiversity Support
  • Cosplay, Costume & Wardrobe
  • Crowd Management, Stewarding & Conflict Resolution
  • First Aid & Welfare
  • Photography, Videography & Content Capture
  • Retail, Marketplace & Exhibitor Support
  • Stage Management & Live Programming
  • Theatre Front of House & Audience Experience
  • Volunteer Coordination, Admin & Operations
  • Workshops, Education & Facilitation
Don't see your background listed? Apply anyway. If you're passionate, reliable and want to be part of something brilliant, we want to hear from you.

Could you be a Team Lead?

If you have experience leading people, managing spaces or taking charge in a live event environment, we'd love to consider you for one of our Team Lead roles.

We'll ask you a couple of extra questions in the application form, and if you're shortlisted for a lead role we may ask you to evidence your experience before your place is confirmed.

What's in it for you?

Here's what you can expect as part of the Oh So Stagey team:

All volunteers receive:

  • Free entry to the event outside of your shift time to explore, shop, watch and enjoy
  • An official Oh So Stagey Fan Fest volunteer t-shirt

Interviewing Alexandra

First things first, who are you?

What would people be surprised to know about you?

What are your roles behind the scenes?

What was your first musical theatre obsession?

What’s your most chaotic theatre memory?

Who’s the organised one and who’s the chaos gremlin?

If someone sees you at the event, should they come say hi?

What are you most looking forward to seeing at Oh So Stagey?

Interviewing Doré

Where did the idea for Oh So Stagey Fan Fest come from?

Musical Theatre Market grew so much faster than we anticipated and Stagey feels like a natural progression

What have you learned from running Musical Theatre Market?

To not be afraid of criticism or notes, people genuinely want to enjoy and be part of these types of events and the more we listen, the more we create events that the community treasure. Stagey folk are incredibly kind and generous and they reward those who act with integrity.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

Hmm…I’m fluent in Afrikaans – is that interesting though 😊? Also, I really wish I was funny, you know, had comedic qualities...

What is your role behind the scenes?

I’m much more on the logistics side of things, whereas Alexandra is the creative. We make a pretty good team

What’s your ultimate comfort musical?

Oh easy, Come From Away

Who’s the organised one and who’s the chaos gremlin?

Chaos gremlin is most certainly Alexandra!

What’s your emergency drink of choice?

Latte, definitely latte

What’s your phone camera roll mostly full of?

Pretty much everything Alexandra doesn’t have space for on hers…that girl loves to take photos!

What would you say to someone who’s nervous about coming?

We get it – coming into a new environment can be tricky for some, but you're absolutely welcome here! We've built Oh So Stagey Fan Fest to feel like a community, not a crowd. Our team are friendly, the space is navigable and there's a quiet space available if you need a moment to recharge.

If someone sees you at the event, should they come say hi?

Oooh yes please!! We love stopping for chats with fellow stagey fans!
