Anyone have any luck getting PA roles through Backstage? I just signed up at the beginning of this month. I need to get more experience for my resume and feel like I might get it through the website, but I’m new to it so I have no idea.

I’m also looking into acting classes and feel like I could get some background work through there too.

Wow, I had no idea. I just signed up for it this month

Don’t do Backstage for production experience, is that why you signed up? Plenty of niche FB groups, and other ways. Are you intern level or now past that? Lots of companies still have intern programs too.

Most production roles are almost always hired via people your network. I would recommend seeing if there’s a PA training program in your city - after finishing the program they will refer you to local producers and production companies in town (for example, Streetlights in Los Angeles).
There’s also production Facebook groups where you can find work (WhereSpot is a big one, likely additional ones specific to your city).

I think the one I saw in my area is for students but I’ll look again. I’ll definitely try the Facebook groups too

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
