Off-Leash Area is hiring 2 Set-Up Crew.

Off-Leash Area is currently hiring 2 individuals to join the Set-Up Crew for our 9th Neighborhood Garage Tour, scheduled for three weekends, Fridays and Saturdays, September 12-27.

Off-Leash Area is a multi-award winning dance + theater company that creates exclusively original work, and has been producing in Minneapolis for the past 25 years.

The Neighborhood Garage Tour is an incredibly unique and fun community arts program, providing access to contemporary arts, and overcoming barriers of geography, time, and cost to reach Minnesotans in their own neighborhoods. Now in its 9th year, it is our most popular program. Additionally, Off-Leash Area embraces an all-abilities approach to performance making and presenting, forwarding a belief that all bodies should be seen on stage. Access services are offered throughout the company+rsquo;s programs and productions.
