Dear Mr. Higgins,

Your ad in the weekend newspaper seeking a set designer greatly interests me. Over the past three years, I have pursued design opportunities with local theatre companies and have worked on eight productions, as outlined in the attached resume.

You will also see from my resume that I have developed building and carpentry skills over a two year period, while working with a building contractor. My experience ranges from frame construction to dry walling, along with cabinet making, laying floors and painting. I have worked on new buildings as well as renovations.

While 1 have enjoyed the work I did in the construction trade, I would like to be able to also pursue my interests in art and theatre. Over the past six years I have taken many art courses, including sculpture, painting and drawing. I continue to have a strong interest in theatre and drama, and am a regular member of theatre audiences. This position with the Performance Theatre Company would allow me to bring together my technical and artistic skills. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss further my skills and how they fit the requirements of the set designer position. Please call me at 666-9291.

Thank you for considering this application.

Sincerely,


Jane Brown
