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

"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."
