Fall 2026 Crew Sign Ups - Will go live/Links active on Monday, August 31st

Signing up for a production crew is on a first come first serve basis.  To sign up for a crew:

  1. Crew schedules will be linked here to a OneDrive folder. They will be broken down by type of crew and then color coded by each show.
  2. Consult your schedule to make sure you have ZERO conflicts for the crew you’re interested in.  Crews will not be rotating this season so you will be expected to be there every day listed on the schedule.
  3. Once you are ready to sign up, there will be a link here to take you to a Sign-Up Genius page. Putting your name on the sign-up sheet means you have already checked your conflicts and you’re good to go!

You’ll then be contacted by the production manager to confirm your selection and give you an “approved/not approved” response by the following week.

 

If approved:

  1. Add a crew activity unit to your school schedule (THEA 140/240/340/440).
  2. You'll click a link to fill out the activity unit form to let us know which unit you added to your schedule and which crew you were approved for.
  3. A stage manager will then contact you later in the semester to remind you of your 1st call date to the theatre.

 

If not approved, you’ll either need to find a different crew that works with your schedule or wait until a later semester to fit it in.

There are other opportunities in the department to earn crew activity units.  Every production (both Mainstage & Threshold) needs assistant designers, assistant stage managers, production assistants, assistant directors, house management & usher support, light hang & focus teams, scenic/lighting/costume shop support, etc.  If these are of interest to you, please reach out to the Production Manager so you can be assigned to one of these slots. AGAIN, it is a first come first serve basis and if you have a ton of conflicts, there is no guarantee that we will have something that works with your schedule.
