Company Stage Manager

"PumpkinVille" & ChristmasVille - Portsmouth

Immersive Octopus are the creative minds behind some of the most successful immersive experiences in recent years.

Recent collaborations include delivering ‘Peaky Blinders: The Rise’ for The Everywhere Group and ‘The Paddington Bear Experience’ for Path Entertainment, as well as working directly with the world’s biggest Film Studios like Disney and Sony Pictures on creative development projects.

Immersive Octopus are recruiting an organised and enthusiastic Company Stage Manager to help bring alive two new family immersive adventures: “PumpkinVille” & "ChristmasVille" , in the historic city of Portsmouth.

This year, the seasons come alive in two extraordinary worlds: PumpkinVille and ChristmasVille. The audience enter giant 19-metre domes and are immersed in adventures where theatre, film and spectacular effects astound at every turn. By day, families join The SpookAdemy, a playful Halloween school where every guest learns the art of the scare or help awaken the festive magic of the Northern Lights in the Elf Emporium. By night, the domes transform into glowing destinations with festive bars, classic films and exciting experiences just for adults.

With dazzling projection, live performance, puppetry and music, this immersive adventure places the audience right at the heart of the story, for an experience that is playful, magical, and unforgettable.

The Stage Management team will be responsible for ensuring that these immersive theatrical events are rehearsed and run smoothly, caring for actors, props, puppets whilst upholding the highest of artistic and technical standards.
