Actor/Tech Walk-Thru Instructions
SETC will conduct an Actor/Tech Walk-Thru for technical people who can demonstrate stage presence, ability to follow stage directions, and the interest to handle small “walk on” roles. This is designed primarily for outdoor drama and other large-scale productions that need people to fill in on stage, but the individual will primarily perform technical work. There are few if any speaking roles. There are a limited number of slots available and persons who already have an audition number may NOT apply for Actor/Tech.

Apply: This is ONLY for persons who PRE-REGISTER ONLINE for Job Contact Service:

BRING your technical resume to Connie Smith, the JCS Onsite Manager. She will ask you several questions applicable to actor tech.

Approved: If approved, you will be given a number and you will line up. Walk Thru date and time TBD.

1) Go to center stage.
2) Hold up your card.
3) State your name and number.
4) State your availability (summer only, year-round),
5) State ONLY your area of expertise (props, costumes, sound, lights, etc.).

Further questions about this procedure will be addressed during Actor/Tech Check-in.

Job Contact Service areas are broken down into technical/design employment, theatre operations staffing, administrative/management employment, academic employment and other hiring needs (including auditions).

"SETC provided prompt, professional assistance in our job search [for Designer/TD] -- from initiating an ad in both print and on-line versions, to a very successful interview service at the annual convention. The region's best graduating students and professionals attended the conference -- and in the end, we found our best candidates at SETC. The SETC staff were knowledgeable, efficient, and personable throughout the process."
