Hi cube!

I am a prop supervisor for theater on and off broadway (also do production design for film) and I’m looking for more freelance prop carpenters! I love hiring the same people repeatedly so if you’re looking for more work, I hope we’re a match!

Specifically looking for someone with skills in carpentry for tomorrow Tuesday 3/8 a rehearsal load out with set dressing and some carpentry projects, AND also in general, more freelance carps to add to my rolodex for future!

I often have prop carpentry work and post pandemic I’m finding that my usual go-to people are either booked with work or have moved onto other fields, no longer in NYC, etc. The rates are most often $25-35/hr, (never less than 25/hr) depending on the project and client. On site work is in Manhattan. Tools are typically provided/available, but never a bad idea to bring your own if you’re comfortable with that.

Looking for folks who are good/fast with furniture assembly, problem solving and furniture adjustments/fixing, and confident with set dressing carpentry (hanging picture frames, wall art, etc). Looking for someone who does neat and efficient work, takes initiative, and can work independently or with others, doesn’t mind some lifting (mostly just furniture, not too crazy) and is easy to work with.

I’m looking for a little more than a basic skill set here, as many of my regulars for load ins have basic carpentry skills, but I’d like someone who can confidently get creative with troubleshooting and does clean work. For example, adjusting the height of a piece of factory made furniture, or reinforcing furniture for standing. Skilled recent grads and current students are welcome 🙂

Sound like you? I would love to hear from you! Please send over your resume, portfolio/work samples if you have, and a little about you and your strengths. Let me know if you’re available tomorrow, or just want to be considered for future!

You must be fully vaccinated for all work (and many jobs now also require booster if eligible).

Thanks!

Samantha
