Touring Hey r/techtheater question for those who are one here. Graduating all I have wanted to do ever is tour as a lighting designer. I know I should start as...

Get your passport if you don't already have one, and join your local. If you are going to pay dues they may as well go to your home base.

There is so much wrong with this....
First off, get a job as a designer with a company that designs shows. Design a few shows, go out and see how it's done, maybe help pull a few shows out of the shop and help with the install and strike. When I say a few, I mean a couple years worth. Once your name is out there and you have a portfolio, then people should be coming to you.
If you don't feel like doing it this way, then your only option is to work as an electrician, then work your way up to ME, and by then you will know enough people to start working as a designer, although by then you'll probably want to be a Tech Director instead of a designer unless you're the artsy type and really, really like sitting there for hours, usually late night, with the programmer and board op writing the next day's cues.

Check out [Networks](http://www.networksontour.com/) they do a lot of major touring shows and are constantly looking for people especially around the time you graduate.

PRG Vegas does concert tour prep for a lot of lighting. PRG Secaucus does a ton of theatrical tour prep, check out their summer internships (I did Vegas last summer there). I'm currently out with a major theatrical touring company. You don't go out as a designer, you go out as an electrician. Your job is to maintain the designers original design as best as possible.

Designers do not tour. Electricians tour. If you want to be a Lighting Designer, the quickest way to do that is to get work as a Assistant Lighting Designer (ALD). Most lighting designers look for an ALD with an MFA degree and solid VectorWorks Spotlight and Lightwright skills. After a few years of assisting, producers will get to know you and may hire you as an LD once they get a feel for your work. If you want to tour, go the IATSE route. Non-union tours can be miserable. I speak from experience.
I need a licensed electrician to help me run a couple of 30A circuits in my basement, anyone have a recommendation?

We've used Prime Construction Corp for all our work (deck-new construction, bathroom reno, and 3 ceiling fan installs). We will have them come back to do anything else we need. They are licensed, insured, reliable and fair. 2407937044 and tell them we sent you:).

Sarah, my friend Tracy Holden works for her stepdad's electrical company, Blue Jay Electric. He is a Christian, too. If I had a need, I'd check them out.:)
Jeneane T. replied:
Yes! My brother Eric works for Blue Jay electric. He's the best! ;) Good luck!
Jeneane T. replied:
I should have also said that the owners of Blue Jay are my aunt and uncle and Tracy Holden is my cousin. I think you'll be very happy with them!

Blue Jay was who I would also recommend. Not the cheapest, but honest, Christian people. I hope all goes well.
