The Cutter is a seniority based casual hire position, and a unionized position under the Arts Club Theatre Company/I.A.T.S.E. 118 Collective agreement.

We are looking to expand our roster of skilled cutters on our causal hire roster, which based on seniority and union status may be dispatched to work in our shop. Non-union applicants are welcome and encouraged to apply with the understanding that dispatched work will be prioritized to union members, and, when dispatched, dues will be withdrawn as a permittee.

The successful candidate will have good judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to effectively and clearly communicate and coordinate with the various artists and staff, and sometimes vendors and contractors. Knowledge of theatrical costume shop operations, previous experience as a Cutter or Tailor, and strong aptitude to work in a dynamic environment, is essential.

The work requires good manual dexterity, some lifting (up to 50 lbs.), and frequent standing, bending, walking, kneeling, and stooping. There are periods of repetitive motion of the hands and wrists. The working environment is inside the costume shop or backstage and in the dressing rooms of the theatre.
