Stage Setup and Take Down - one of the most crucial areas in regards to the set up of the facilities is the stage.  It is the area that is seen the most, and because of this, we take great care in making sure it is done correctly.  With that said, it is not rocket science.  Anyone who has an eye for what looks good and is somewhat handy can take on this responsibility.

The stage is set up in two phases: Phase 1 includes setting up the "wall", curtains, screen, podium, and assembling the Menorah.  This is done in the afternoon two days prior to the opening night of the festival and allows the major props and tables to be in place so that the sound crew can work around them. Phase 2 includes decorating the stage, finishing the Menorah, and hanging banners.  This takes place in the early afternoon one day prior to the beginning of the festival (click for Setup Schedule).

At the conclusion of the festival, this must all be taken down, packed up. or stored, and loaded into the trailer. 
The purpose for setting this up early is to allow the Audio-Visual people and the band to get set up.  All auditorium setup must be completed by 12:00 PM on the morning of the opening event.

• Service Times: two days  prior to the festival (54 hours prior to the first evening's activities) and a few hours after the conclusion of the festival.
• Shift Frequency:   unless minor corrections are needed, this crew will not be needed during the festival.
• Experience: the ability to  assemble props, decorations, etc.  If you are handy with hand tools and a cordless drill, your skills will be an asset in setting up some of the props. 
• Positions Available - Team Leader (Mark Roth) and 6 Helpers
