Assistant Head Wardrobe | HIRING! (Temporary Position)
The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall is accepting applications for a temporary Assistant Head Wardrobe (W2) position. This one-year position is intended to support a smooth transition to a new Head Wardrobe (W1). The W2 role is an "as-needed" position within the Barbara B. Mann House Crew.
The W2 individual will work alongside the Head Wardrobe on all Broadway Touring productions and may independently oversee wardrobe operations for other productions, as assigned.
This position supports wardrobe operations for local and touring productions, helps maintain continuity during the W1 transition, and ensures wardrobe work is performed safely, professionally, and in compliance with production requirements and applicable Union agreements. Once the transition to the W1 role has occurred, the W2 position will be eliminated.
The selected candidate must be able to perform the following wardrobe, supervisory, and production support duties:
- Assist the Head Wardrobe in monitoring and supervising load-ins, load-outs, and performances for local and touring productions.
- Dress performers and assist with costume changes, including quick changes during performances; safely handle large or heavy costumes; stand, kneel, lift, and carry heavy items; and work effectively in varied lighting conditions.
- Train and mentor local call-in crew members, ensuring dressers meet production standards.
- Perform hand and machine sewing, costume repairs, and laundry duties as needed.
- Lead Yellow-Card productions when assigned, including assigning tracks, coordinating wardrobe staffing, and serving as a liaison between production needs and local Union contractual requirements.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
The interview process will consist of two parts:
- An in-person interview with the Technical Director.
- A practical skills assessment that evaluates sewing and costume-related competencies.
