Technical Services

Midwest Trust Center performing space events require a three-stagehand minimum at $25 an hour, each reporting for a minimum four-hour call.

Stagehands serve as lighting technician operator, audio engineer and stage floor manager. These stagehands are required whenever Yardley Hall or the Polsky Theatre is rented regardless of any other personnel required by the client.

In the Midwest Trust Center, all equipment operation is done by JCCC stagehands. A supervisor and/or additional stagehands may be necessary depending upon production options chosen. These determinations are made by the Midwest Trust Center production manager at the production meeting scheduled approximately one month prior to the event. Actual time of stage use, within the reservation time, is also determined at the production meeting.

Note: In general for dance and theater performances, a lighting plot and stage layout must be provided. If you do not have a design, we can recommend someone that will charge a reasonable price to create a design. Also, when budgeting for a performance, please be aware that we do not hang a rep plot, and all setup and teardown labor is charged to the client. Generally, a setup for dance will require one supervisor and eight stagehands working a minimum of 12 hours to hang a lighting plot of any substance. This work is completed prior to the company arrival and load-in. If the company has its own lighting and staging personnel those persons are welcome to be on site during the hang days to observe and or supervise. Overtime charges apply after 12 hours per day.

Operations Staff

The Midwest Trust Center operations staff consists of a technical director and two crew chiefs: a chief audio engineer and a master electrician. A pool of 25 stagehands works with the crew chiefs to run shows and maintain the performance spaces in the Midwest Trust Center. Scheduling is handled by an in-house coordinator.
