Looking for a few Pearl techs |

Most people in Boundary County have heard of The
Pearl Theater, and many of you support it by
attending incredible shows and events at its
unique venue on Ash Street. Others sustain this
non-profit, historical community theater with
ongoing attendance, memberships, donations and
volunteerism. But few realize that there is
another way to get involved with The Pearl,
while making a bit of cash ...
The Pearl hosts a variety of events, from
musical performances to theater productions,
parties, movies and rentals for private
occasions. All of these endeavors require a
technician’s presence at the venue to run the
lights, the sound and the projector, while
controlling the “ambience” of the events.
The Pearl board is seeking enthusiastic
individuals (18 years and older) who hope to
become certified Pearl techs.
Training will involve one to two hours of
hands-on training with the equipment, and then
several events of shadowing a certified tech
before taking on a show alone.
There are ongoing opportunities as the “lights
and sound person” for bands, solo performers,
live theater and ongoing monthly events like
Open Mic. Technicians receive payment for their
time and skills.
If you have attended an event at The Pearl and
enjoyed the staging or sound quality, thank the
technician. If you participated in a fundraiser
for various groups in town and had a great time
with the venue being warm, inviting, with great
background music and easy-to-hear speakers,
thank the tech. And, especially, if you have
been lucky enough to be in the audience for one
of our local playwright’s productions or musical
theatre performances and remained so captivated
in the moment that you never even noticed the
lighting and sound, once again, thank the tech.
Sound like fun? You bet!
If you have questions or hope to sign up for the
next training, please call The Pearl at (208)
610-2846. Learn something new, work as it fits
your schedule and enjoy the performing arts like
never before! |
