Thanks for coming by to the new Stagehand community

I would like to especially give a shout out to Local 122 here in San Diego and everybody from the California Center for the Arts. This is a place for techies in theater, film, production companies, rental houses, and in AV to swap stories and knowledge.

Are you new here? Get your own spot!

Once you’ve uploaded a picture of yourself and filled out some info in your profile, you should head over and introduce yourself in our Stagehands community Introductions story topic so everybody knows you’re here. Or if you’ve got a production company or freelance design services available promote yourself in the Shameless Promotions story topic
