Jobs

Das Schauspielhaus Zürich ist eine der wichtigsten Kulturinstitutionen der Schweiz und im deutschsprachigen Raum. Über 300 Mitarbeiter*innen arbeiten in den Spielstätten Pfauen und Schiffbau auf und hinter den Bühnen.

Als Institution befindet sich das Schauspielhaus in einer diversitätsorientierten Organisationsentwicklung und arbeitet gemeinsam mit allen Mitarbeiter*innen auf eine respektvolle Betriebskultur hin. Dennoch wissen wir, dass wir noch einen langen Weg vor uns haben, bis eine umfassende Diversität am Schauspielhaus Realität geworden sein wird. Nachdrücklich möchten wir Angehörige unterrepräsentierter gesellschaftlicher Gruppen ermutigen, sich zu bewerben. Wir berücksichtigen alle qualifizierten Kandidaturen und freuen uns besonders über Bewerbungen von BIPoC* sowie von Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung und FLINTAQ Personen.

Bitte beachten Sie unsere Datenschutzrichtlinien für Bewerber*innen.

Extras - also known as extras - are supporting actors without speaking roles.
They usually act together with others in the crowd and make a significant contribution to creating a credible and lively background image. They therefore make an important contribution to the atmosphere and authenticity of each scene.

2 child extras for the production of HEKABE
Extras for the production of IL GATTOPARDO

Schauspielhaus Zürich is looking for extras to support the staging of IL GATTOPARDO, directed by Pınar Karabulut:

  • One woman* or female-presenting person, aged 20-35 (no speaking role, no choir), preferably with knowledge of waltz or standard dance
  • Two men or male-presenting persons, aged 20-45 (no speaking role, no choir), preferably with waltz or standard dance skills

These are extra roles that are integrated into the scenes, but also involve set changes between and during scenes, which is why basic physical fitness and a enjoyment of organisational tasks are required.

- A man* or male-presenting person, preferably musical

The rehearsal period would be from 1 December 2025 to 19 December 2025 and 5 January 2026 to 6 February 2026.

Swiss composer and director Ruedi Häusermann creates multi-layered musical theatre works and now returns to the Schauspielhaus Zürich with a new production and hand-picked musicians. You may think, what am I hearing, and I tell you, it's the washing machine is a musical theatre in which the roles are constantly being redistributed among the performers. Everyday scenes from the ‘village theatre’ alternate with seemingly purposeless play, songs and yodels disintegrate and split into micro-shades of distant memories. The sound of a washing machine here, the rhythmic whirring, rumbling and hissing of the string quartet in a meticulously executed composition by Ruedi Häusermann there: hearing one in the other becomes a delightful experience.

We are always on the lookout for talented performers for our professional stage productions and other projects. These often involve challenging roles with a lot of text, dance or singing. The necessary prior knowledge and other requirements are described in detail in the respective casting adverts.

Young Performers Wanted!

The theatre is looking for Afro-diasporic children/black children/children of African descent between the ages of 8 and 13 for a theatre project.
Feel free to apply by 17.09.2025. We are still happy to accept registrations after the deadline.


MONSTER
by Recke/Lehmann/Froelicher
DIRECTED BY: Anta Helena Recke, Maxi Menja Lehmann, Anna Froelicher
WORLD PREMIERE: 11.04.2026 at PFAUEN
About the play

THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT

In our dreams, we can fly, we can be very big or very small, we can climb walls like a spider or eat a cake forever that isn't actually a cake.

MONSTER is about the relationship between mother and child and about childhood. The time when we get to know the world as it is explained to us by adults. It is also about things that can be scary. Shadows, a group of people who look exactly the same, or when you want to scream and no sound comes out.

Monsters can also be a little scary, but other monsters are cuddly and soft. Some monsters protect us and some lurk under the bed. Sometimes, when we are angry, we become a bit like monsters ourselves, and when we get annoyed with others, we think that maybe they are monsters too for a moment. But actually, it's not so bad to be a monster.

On stage, we create living images.

HOW WE MAKE THEATER TOGETHER WITH YOU

The three directors Anta, Maxi and Anna will run several workshops with you. In the workshops, you will get to know the other children who will be on stage with you. You will find out what you can do on stage. The directors come up with scenes for the children. These are mainly scenes from everyday life and scenes from dreams. You dress up, speak simple texts and move in slow motion like in a dream.

You don't need any acting experience to take part. The most important thing is that you are curious and want to get to know theater together with other children!

WHO WE ARE

We are a team of theater professionals from Germany (Berlin) and Switzerland (Zurich). We include a set designer, a costume designer, a musician, a choreographer and three directors.

We find exciting in theatre: transferring images from films and art to the stage, creating a mystical atmosphere, actors who play themselves a little. We often do plays together with children or adults who are not professional actors. In our plays there is little speaking and a lot of moving. We look forward to seeing you!

WHAT, HOW, WHERE

  • The selection workshop will take place on 19 September 2025 (5–7 p.m.) in Zurich.

  • Rehearsals will take place in the following blocks: 1–4 October 2025 / 9–28 February 2026 / 16 March–11 April 2026

  • The plan is to stage around 15–20 performances by the end of the theatre season, with the option of reviving the production in the 2026/2027 season.

  • Rehearsals will be paid at a flat rate.

  • There will be a fee per performance.

  • Most of the rehearsals for the play will take place outside school hours, e.g. in the evenings, on free afternoons or at weekends. There will be intensive rehearsals during the 2026 sports holidays. We will draw up a detailed rehearsal schedule after the selection workshop. In doing so, we want to take the timetables of all performers into account as far as possible. If school hours are affected, we will discuss this in advance with the school management of the performers.
