BACKSTAGE ASSISTANT

We're three weeks away from the grand opening of The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysus! Tickets will be available online as of February 1 - start saving your online pennies...

Meantime, we have a few job openings around these parts...

BACKSTAGE ASSISTANT
We are looking for someone to be a part of the backstage team for MainLine's original production The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus. The ideal candidate would be able to work as a team, follow direction, adapt quickly to changes, and work well under pressure. Experience is an asset, but not necessary.

We're behind the scenes this week working hard on the greatest show in the history of theatre, The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysus, opening February 16.

But you can share in the creative process, courtesy of our pals...

UNCALLED FOR!

Sensitive actors and eccentric directors...
Missed cues and broken props...
Egos and tantrums and panic, oh my!

Tomorrow is opening night. Pray to the gods of Drama that everything goes well tonight.

Sur les planches de MainLine, on y danse, on y danse...

NEW YEAR'S EVE SLOWDANCE! We've once again teamed up with the lovely slowdancers to bring you a FREE evening of all slow songs! With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance, Slowdance Night will keep you swaying to the music all night long! It's high school with a happy ending, and it's queer, senior, and couple-friendly too.

Joyeux Christmakwanzakah!
