Ordinary Days

One of the Midwest's oldest professional summer companies, Canterbury celebrates its 52nd anniversary in 2021.

The Lighting Designer/Master Electrician is responsible for designing 3-4 of the season shows. This person will handle hang/focus and board programming using an ETC Element 40 console, and serve as board operator for all productions.

Duties also include any equipment repairs and/or maintenance work during the season.

After each show opens, and if all immediate design work and maintenance have been completed, the LD/ME will also assist with technical preparations, including carpentry, for the next production.

Usually this position is filled by a graduate student, an upper level undergraduate, or a working professional who can afford to work for the experience and the modest salary offered. This person also fits into the “summer camp” atmosphere, and schedule, of typical Midwest summer stock. Living arrangements are shared bedrooms in provided housing.

The experience is typical of summer stock—-resume building, experience, networking, and rewarding. Owing to our close proximity to Chicago, many company members use Canterbury as a jumping-off point to move and pursue careers there. Also, Canterbury is located a short distance from the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan.

Canterbury is committed to following COVID health and safety protocols, according to guidelines set forth by the CDC and the Indiana State Department of Health.

All staff and performers hired will be required to show proof of COVID vaccination on the report date in order to begin work.

Masks will be worn by staff during work and performances, and will be requited for audience members, who will be seated in a socially-distanced arrangement. Also, temperature checks will be administered to the company daily.
