What is a stage rigging apprentice?

Stage Rigging Apprentices are entry-level professionals who learn how to install, operate, and maintain rigging systems used in theaters, concerts, and other live events. They work under the supervision of experienced riggers to set up lighting, scenery, and special effects safely above or around performance spaces. Apprentices receive hands-on training in equipment handling, safety procedures, and industry standards, preparing them for more advanced rigging roles. This position is ideal for those interested in technical theater and live event production.
