Developed with ALT, in consultation with Ohio’s Dept of Mental Health and Addiction Services, this piece was written by Executive Artistic Director & CEO, Matthew David Gellin.

See Me, Hear Me: Cyberbullying is to be performed in a state-wide non-union tour to Ohio high schools and middle schools.  This will be a 6-person company – 4 actors, 1 stage manager, 1 company manager, 2 vans.

EXPECTATIONS

The Company Manager is the leader on the road.

Additional expectations: The Company Manager must have a valid driver’s license and insurance as they will be responsible for driving one of the two vans.

During the performance they will run front of house and give a pre-show speech. Company Manager will consolidate reports for ALT reporting, and help the process and production in other ways, as needed; this may include going on with a script in hand if an actor is sick. Schools have an option to do a facilitated talk-back after each performance for up to 45 minutes that the Company Manager will facilitate.

ALT staff will be available to assist with critical components along the way. 

COMPENSATION
Compensation is $1,000/week for the duration of the contract (dates specified above). This contract lasts up to 9 weeks. There will be another leg of the tour in Spring 2026 that actors may be offered depending on ability to meet expectations and availability.
