Experience
- Recent graduates, retired folks, mid-career designers - we are happy and excited to consider folks from all walks of life.

BEFORE APPLYING, CONSIDER...
- Does the idea of being outside, under the stars, in a beautiful nature preserve excite you? In many ways, the themes of Xanadu - making and creating art - are kismet with the unique circumstances this show will be presented in, but we realize that is not for everyone.
- Xanadu is a co-production between Eric Quang Gelb and the Art Farm, and as such, is not a traditional theatrical building or organization with a shop attached and a lobby. The Art Farm seeks to produce theatre in as close to its natural environment as possible, and as such, Xanadu will be performed outdoors.+nbsp;
- Talent trailers, tents, power generators will be brought into our beautiful field to create a purpose-built environment for the show. Though the show won+rsquo;t perform outside in extreme weather conditions, it will not be dissimilar to the quirks and inherent nature of performing at theme parks and cruise ships.+nbsp;
- This is a small ensemble, a quick process, and it+rsquo;s all outside. The Art Farm at Serenbe and Eric Quang Gelb Productions are committed to fostering a safe, reasonable and transparent working environment. Do not mistake our desire for personnel with "strong work ethics" as people who are happy to be asked to do the impossible. Transparency in compensation, commitment and opportunity is at the forefront of our production model. If spending time in nature, bringing arts to other parts of the country and thinking outside the box sounds exciting to you - we+rsquo;d love to hear from you.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Campily and cleverly making an unlikely match of both the conventions of Greek theatre and the themes of the rockin+rsquo; 80s, this all-new production is built just for the Art Farm. Inviting audiences to take their seats outside, you+rsquo;ve never been closer to the action at the Art Farm+rsquo;s very own, totally rad, roller rink under the stars.

Inspired by, and featuring the music of the cult classic major motion picture of the same name, XANADU follows the Greek muse Kira+rsquo;s descent from Mount Olympus to Venice Beach. When she embarks on a journey to inspire Sonny, a struggling artist, on his quest for artistic achievement, roller skates whiz past in a flurry of forbidden love, conniving sisters, and fantasy sequences in this unique theatrical experience.
Directed by Eric Quang Gelb and performed by a world-class of NYC performers, XANADU is a high-flying, roller-skating musical adventure about art, love and inspiration. Stay after the show and enjoy a cocktail, good tunes and more throwback fun as the stage opens into a party!
