Hey Techblr. Wanted to do my annual share of an excellent networking and job opportunity in the DC area.
What is a tech cattle call? Much like how actors may have an opportunity to do an audition in front of several companies at once (lookin’ at you DC Non-EQs), this is an opportunity to sell your technical skills to as many as 60 different companies in the DC/Baltimore Metro area.
The 2019 DC Theatre Technician Cattle Call will be held on Sunday, April 14 and Monday, April 15 at Sidney Harman Hall from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
Sunday will be devoted to Carpenters, Electricians, Audio & Video Engineers, Props Artisans and Painters. Monday will be devoted to Costume Technicians, Makeup Artists, Stage Managers and those who fall into other categories but are on run crew for shows.
Similar to an acting cattle call, each candidate will be given 8 minutes in front of the group of representatives from theaters and production companies around the DC Metro area.
Companies already committed to attending this year include:
The Alden Theatre
Arts On The Horizon
Atlas Performing Arts Center
Baltimore Center Stage
The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center
Design Foundry
Encore Decor
Faction Of Fools
F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre
Flying V Theatre
George Mason University Center for the Arts
The In Series
Monumental Theater Company
Rep Stage/ Howard Community College
Shakespeare Theatre Company
Smithsonian Associates
Studio Theatre

And more are adding every day!
