$625.00/week + on-site housing provided

The Props Supervisor leads a four-person department. Prop requirements always vary with the needs of the season but range from carpentry to crafts to upholstery to paints to shopping and/or rentals. There is a decent stock in storage on campus, but we rent quite a bit to supplement all built projects. Must be able to coordinate between an off-site designer and the rehearsal that is in progress. The Props Supervisor is also responsible for coordinating space use with other departments and for tool usage, maintaining prop storage, dealing with rehearsal prop needs for a very short rehearsal process and tracking a tight budget for multiple shows while still being realistic about directors needing/wanting last minute adds.

PSF+rsquo;s summer festival is a fast-paced work environment necessitating strong multitasking and data tracking skills. An ideal candidate will be team and goal oriented and receptive to the adaptive problem solving required to mitigate the ever-evolving needs of a vigorous summer festival season. Patience and mediation skills are required to ensure a professional and inclusive work environment at all times. Established experience in theatrical props building and acquisition techniques and/or touring environs is required. The Props department, Scene Shop and Production Management work closely together to ensure a smooth and inclusive work environment at all times. Safety and precision are our foremost priorities.
