Stagehands (starting wage at $10.10/hr)
The Hancher Production Department employs around 35-40 student stagehands to provide labor for a variety of artists that are presented throughout the year. Stagehands work to set up for performances, provide support during rehearsals, sound checks and performances and help to strike all equipment and restore the space afterwards. Student stagehands also provide security at our stage door during events. Stagehands learn how to work with various types of theatrical lighting and sound equipment. The Hancher Production team will train and test all students on procedures at the beginning of employment. We are looking for people that will be available beginning in August 2017.
Typically, work in the Hancher Production Department is not regular, weekly hours. We work when there are shows. Students may not be working every week. Work shifts are often during the day as well as evening and into the late night hours on weekdays and weekends.
