A powerful new opportunity!
A training program for new and upskilling Atlanta-based technicians.
Production Boot Camp is a new program created by Synchronicity Theatre. We are partnering with many Atlanta-area theatres, to create a robust training program for both new and experienced technicians. Our hope is that this new program will provide new technicians with hands-on experience, re-build a strong and well-trained workforce, and provide training for technicians who want to brush up or upskill their tool box.
In our first year - our Boot Camps trained 2 stage management cohorts, electricians and carpenters. This fall, we are launching a new Production Manager/Technical Director cohort and a hands-on set of Carpentry Workshops.
Partner Theatres include: Actor's Express, Dad's Garage, Georgia Ensemble Theatre, Theatrical Outfit, Stage Door Players, Out Front, and more.
To become a partner theatre, please email Synchronicity Associate Producer Elisabeth Cooper
