CAC does not discriminate in offering equal access with respect to employment terms and conditions on the basis of age, ancestry, color, creed, disability, gender, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or protected veteran's status and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
Overhire Event Crew - Ongoing
The Chesapeake Arts Center (CAC) seeks overhire lighting and sound technicians for its wide variety of events in its two performance spaces. CAC’s proscenium theatre and black box theatre are both equipped with industry-standard lighting and audio equipment, including rep lighting plots hung and focused in each space. While shifts are largely focused on the technical side of events, CAC prides itself on providing quality customer service for our renters and audiences. Therefore, a positive attitude and willingness to help is a must. Teamwork is crucial to the success of the events, and flexibility is paramount as a technician. Outside of standard technical duties, crew is expected to assist with simple custodial tasks at the end of the event.
Hours vary, but are most frequently evenings and weekends. Event shifts are staffed through a system that allows crew flexibility in requesting shifts that fit within their schedules. If applying with technical experience, rates begin at $21/hour. CAC is also willing to help train and provide experience for young technicians with a desire to learn.
To apply, please send your resume to Dan Goodrich, Director of Operations, at dan@chesapeakearts.org
