Theater Resume For Writers
« on: April 05, 2016, 01:44:29 pm »

Anybody have experience in writing Theater Resumes for writers--the internship I'm applying to requires one. However... I've never done anything for stage so I'm at a loss on how to format it.

I'd go for a standard hybrid-style resume, with a separate job section that's listing all the performances that you've been a part of and the regular work experience section shortened as well.

Since you don't have any real experience in the field, draw in everything you can. Short stories, tv/movie scripts, that sorta stuff. Whatever writing you have done that's fairly decent, list it.

Theatre resumes aren't really different than normal ones. They just tend to have more short term gigs on them. Usually a list of productions you've been involved with along with your role, education, and other relevant experience. Since you're short on the first category, you gotta beef up the other two. White space can be your friend in this instance, don't feel bad about separating each entry with a line or something.

What could pre-industrial societies do, run a bunch of cattle off a cliff? Boo fucking hoo I'll be crying for them while I just dump these litres of acidic chemicals into this river. Scrubs.
