Ordinary Days

One of the Midwest's oldest professional summer companies, Canterbury celebrates its 52nd anniversary in 2020.

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.
