Assistant Technical Director / Lead Production Carpenter
Lake Worth Playhouse seeks a skilled, collaborative, and hands-on Assistant Technical Director / Lead Production Carpenter to join our production team for the 2026–2027 season. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys building scenery, solving problems, working with volunteers, and helping bring theatrical productions to life from the first build day through closing night. Working closely with the Technical Director, Artistic Director, designers, staff, and volunteers, this individual will play a key role in the successful execution of our mainstage and black box productions.

Lead the construction of scenery for multiple productions throughout the season

Promote and maintain safe working practices throughout the production process
Qualifications
Experience in scenic construction, carpentry, and technical theater

Strong woodworking and general fabrication skills
Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
Comfortable working independently and leading teams of volunteers
Positive attitude and collaborative spirit

Season Productions The successful candidate will support productions including: • Falsettos • The Game’s Afoot • A Chorus Line • Broadway Bound • Come From Away • Black Box Productions • Special Events and Community Programs
What We’re Looking For We are searching for someone who is more than a carpenter. We need a dependable production partner—someone who enjoys finding solutions, mentoring volunteers, working with designers, and helping a production cross the finish line. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building a platform, hanging a door, solving a backstage issue during tech week, or helping a volunteer learn a new skill.
Compensation Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience, availability, and scope of responsibilities.
