We’re especially looking to expand our pool of scenic workers, including for carpentry and manual labor. Here’s more about that:

• Duties include heavy lifting, using power tools, painting, cleaning, delivering and picking up furniture, lumber, and other supplies, and all the other jobs that go into building a set and fixing up a cool old warehouse.

• Everyone’s safety comes first. We will get you anything you need to keep yourself safe, like appropriate tools or safety gear, as well as expertise and assistance from others.

• These usually start out as “seasonal” positions, oriented around an upcoming show (or more than one if we get into some weird planning mood). But any job can evolve into a longer-term role over time. Almost all our current regular staffers created their jobs this way.

• While experience is a perk, we are willing to train people who have a willingness to grow.

• $15/hour, $16/hour, now $17/hour, up to 40 hours a week. (new year, new minimum wage!)

• You must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or up-to-date with an alternative CDC-recommended preventive medicine if you’re ineligible for the miracle vaccines.

• Most people are hired as normal employees, where we handle your taxes, and provide workers’ comp insurance; or if you are truly a separate company, we can set up a 1099 independent contractor agreement and you’ll have to handle all that yourself. You’ll be paid on Renaissance’s normal payroll schedule, which is every two weeks.

  (Our payroll works like a lot of normal jobs; the pay periods are two calendar weeks long. Ours are Sunday-to-Sunday-to-Sunday. After each two-week period ends, we add up your hours and process everything, and you get a direct deposit on Friday Wednesday. (New year, faster pay! You can also do Cash App and get your pay an extra day faster, typically Tuesday.) For example, a previous pay period started Sunday, Nov. 7, lasted two weeks, and pay for those hours went out on Friday, Nov. 26 Wednesday, Nov. 24.)
