Job Description - Theatre Technician Fellow

Want to learn how live performances are built—from the first cable run to the final note of the show?
The John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI) is launching a new Technical Theatre Fellowship, a paid summer training program where participants gain hands-on experience producing live concerts while working on the Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series.
Fellows receive real-world training in sound, lighting, and live event production, participate in weekly master classes with industry professionals, and apply newly learned skills in real time during each week’s concert production.
The Summer 2026 fellows will form the inaugural cohort, helping pilot what is envisioned to grow into a two-year technical theatre fellowship program with progressive production responsibilities in future seasons.

Apply newly learned skills during the live concert production

Build connections with technical theatre professionals and venues throughout the region

What You’ll Gain
This fellowship combines hands-on production work with structured learning and professional mentorship. At the conclusion of the program, fellows receive a certificate of completion recognizing their training and production experience.
By the end of the program, fellows will gain:

Practical experience producing a professional outdoor concert series from setup through strike
Hands-on training & weekly instruction from working technical theatre professionals through specialized master classes & collaborating with touring artists and professional production crews
A certificate of completion recognizing technical theatre training and production experience

The Arts Center is developing this pilot program as the foundation for a future two-year technical theatre fellowship, creating a pipeline of skilled production professionals serving Sheboygan’s growing performing arts community.
