James C Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I'd been wondering for a while (though not losing sleep over it, admittedly!). I took a call one day from someone wanting to know what the job of chargehand entailed, so that he would know whether he should apply for a chargehand job at another theatre. I hazarded a guess, but also suggested that he contact a larger establishment than ours , where they might have such a post, or (a long shot, I know) even contact the advertiser to ask what they were looking for!!!

Stu Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 I must admit I've seen it a couple of times, and wondered what it was, but again not something I'd lost sleep over. It's only because the job advert caught my eye that I thought I better find out what it means! Good old theatrical terms ;) hehe Cheers once again for the replies Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
