• Work within tight tech schedules, helping bring both productions to performance-ready status.

Qualifications:

• Experience programming lighting consoles for theatre productions.

• Knowledge of lighting design principles.

• Experience with sound design or setup is a plus.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well under time constraints.

Compensation:

$100 per rehearsal or performance day.
