Extras are supporting actors who usually have no speaking roles and mainly act in the crowd with others and are therefore very important for a credible and lively background image. You can register in the extras department on an ongoing basis with an e-mail: Name, age, natural photos and special skills are of interest to our head of the extras department, Robert Keller: statisterie@theater-basel.ch

Play clubs from all disciplines are aimed at all age groups. Almost all play clubs rehearse once a week, run for a year and end with their own performance on one of Theater Basel's stages.

The chorus of Theater Basel, under the direction of our choral director Michael Clark, is made up of the professional opera chorus, the Opera Chorus Academy (OCA) and the extra chorus. The Extra Choir is a choir of well-trained adult amateur singers. It takes part in major opera productions or concerts where a particularly large number of choristers are needed. New pieces are rehearsed regularly and the collective choral sound is cultivated. Membership of the extra choir therefore requires not only singing and acting skills but also a high level of availability. Rehearsals usually take place one to three times a week in the evening. There are additional rehearsals directly before premières and concerts. Admission to the extra choir is decided after an audition. Interested parties should contact Pam Herzog: p.herzog@artcom.ch

The Foyer Public is a public urban space under the roof of the theatre. It can be used as a meeting place or for activities. AskMe employees are always on site in the Foyer Public as contact persons for visitors and help where they can.

The AskMe staff team consists of 25 people. There are always two of them on site during opening hours. They are the first point of contact in the Foyer Public and are responsible for friendly compliance with the few rules that apply. At the same time, they monitor what is happening and provide feedback within the department for corrections and evaluation. The team is currently full. Information will be provided here should AskMe employees be sought.
