SCENIC CONSTRUCTION & PAINTING

The scenic construction crew assembles stock set pieces and builds new pieces as needed for each production. Crew should  be able  to comfortably work with a variety of hand  tools  and  power tools,  and  be  able  to lift and  carry up to 40 pounds. Those with creative painting skills then transform the pieces for the stage.

Crew Leaders work with the  Production Manager  to ensure that  all the  scenic  elements are completed in a timely manner so the  set can be  painted and  finished  before load-in  day. Tech nights for construction and painting are Mondays and Tuesdays, usually from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
