  • 1.  Finding Staff

    Posted 04-19-2024 09:00

    Good afternoon.  I'm a new theatre manager for our school system and my one paid technician is leaving.  Yikes!  Do any of you have advice on finding/hiring a new technician?  I'm in a small town in Middle Georgia, and I'm concerned about the candidate pool.  While you're at it, send some positive vibes my way.  Our high school production is next week, plus all of the fun end-of-year activities, and I will be without help.

    I've actually had some luck from Craigslist in the past - post in the Gigs section, under Crew. 
     
    Indeed.com is also somewhere that I've seen theatre job postings.
     
    Some other places to post might be:
    Stagejobspro.com
    Offstagejobs.com.
    Theatrejobboard.sect.org/find-a-job/
    Schooltheatre.org/membership/memberbenefits/joblistings
    Jobsgalore.com
    Casting360.com
    Artsearch.us
    I can't vouch for any of those, but I've come across them from time to time.

    Good luck!
