OPEN SPACE ARTS combats homophobia and transphobia

Open Space Arts seeks a Non-Equity Stage Manager for the American premiere of MY LIFE AS A COWBOY by Hugo Timbrell, a funny, heartfelt queer coming-of-age play about a 17-year-old Croydon boy who dreams of reinventing himself as a Country Western dancer—roping in his best friend and fellow lifeguard for a wild performance at Croydon People’s Day.

This is an intimate, three-actor production featuring movement, line dancing, and some live music (guitar/singing). The Stage Manager will be central to supporting choreography, tracking props/costumes, and maintaining the show’s brisk comedic rhythm.

Showtimes: Fridays & Saturdays, 7:30 PM; Sundays, 2:00 PM
