Music venue production gigs?

Submitted by TMoftheDay t3_zl4rx0 in philadelphia

I’m a Tour/ production manager and all around tech looking for venue gigs between tours. Anyone work at local venues or know someone I could get in touch with? Kind of a shot in the dark here, but any info would be greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays y’all!

Most venues over ~2000 capacity (aside from Franklin Music Hall(formerly Electric Factory)) are all IATSE and now until the middle of next month is pretty slow for production things in general.

That being said (I'm not sure who to tell you to contact) Underground Arts and Union Transfer have a bunch of shows coming up, but I'm not sure what their tech needs are (sorry to not be more helpful)

I appreciate any input, thank you. I know it’s the slow season, just throwing feelers out.

Same as another poster said, most gigs are union. TLA is currently hiring but it’s an IATSE gig. If you want more temp/seasonal stuff, look to other large institutions. Villanova is currently hiring two part time control room gigs for the sports facility. Live! Is perpetually hiring, as are the casinos. There are also non union theaters in Wilmington if you want to head down there. Not exactly the answers you’re looking for, but a gig’s a gig this time of year.

Check out TPS. They do a bunch of TV crewing and also do occasional smaller venues. I'm non-union and still get gigs through them.
