Job Summary

Rifco Theatre are looking for a Deputy Stage Manager for our Autumn 2025 tour of Surinderella.

Job Description

Deadline: 5th May 2025

Interview: W/C 12th May 2025

About the show:

Welcome to The Bolly-woods, where the naach is non-stop, the drama is bigger than your aunties, and the romance is straight out of a family blockbuster!

Meet Surinder - sweet, strong, and stuck in a never-ending chore list thanks to her two selfie-obsessed, Insta-vlogging stepsisters, Lovely & Bubbly. Her only real support? The one and only Basanti, a cow with more attitude than a desi girl.

Meanwhile, Prince Kavi is drowning in shaadi pressure from his royal family. But when he accidentally bumps into Surinder, sparks fly faster than a Bollywood dance sequence!

Enter the fabulous Devi Godmother, arriving in full-on gram mode with magic, makeovers, and masala moves. With a dazzling Bollywood Ball, a mystical slipper, and a lot of bakwas, Suriender's destiny is about to get a serious glow-up!

Get ready for an evening of laughter, romance, and larger-than-life entertainment.
