Northern Stage — FY27 Overhire Scenic Carpenters for Frozen

Overview
Northern Stage operates as a LORT-D 240-seat regional theater with a year-round program that includes a mainstage season, an education season, a New Works festival, and four to six additional events. The organization's production scope reflects a commitment to both canonical and contemporary work, and its seasonal calendar demands a skilled, adaptable crew. This call for overhire scenic carpenters is specifically tied to the technical demands of a large-scale musical, requiring precise execution of technical drawings and collaborative support across departments. The positions report directly to the Technical Director and involve building scenery, assisting with load-in, maintaining shop safety and tools, and supporting the Scenic Charge Artist with paint tasks. While the engagement is temporary, it places the carpenter within a professional production environment where attention to detail and adherence to shop protocols are paramount. The theater's location in White River Junction, Vermont, situates it within a vibrant rural arts community, and its LORT-D status indicates a working environment governed by professional union standards. For the creative practitioner, this opportunity represents a chance to contribute to a high-profile production while working alongside experienced technicians. The role is not merely a job but a participation in the theater's ongoing mission to produce work that resonates with its audience. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of technical skill and collaborative spirit, understanding that scenic carpentry is both a craft and a form of storytelling.
