ABOUT US

Seattle Rep is committed to producing the highest quality programming, and we believe that our ability to contribute to excellence in the arts depends on building a community whose members come from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences.

We are part of a growing movement in theater to ensure inclusion of those who have been excluded historically; focusing particularly on racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and women, ensuring they are at the decision-making table and reflected in our community.

Mission

Seattle Rep collaborates with extraordinary artists to create productions and programs that reflect and elevate the diverse cultures, perspectives, and life experiences of our region.

Vision

Theater at the heart of public life

Values

Artistic Vitality, Sustainability, Generous and Inclusive Practices

As part of our commitment to developing emerging theater artists, we offer a specialized Lighting Design Apprenticeship for applicants who have academic or equivalent early career experience in lighting design and are looking to expand their knowledge to the workings of a large regional theater. This Apprenticeship focuses on two main areas: developing the practical skills of an Assistant Lighting Designer – VW Drafting and paperwork, communicating with vendors, working with a union stage crew, pre-production and planning, etc. – and developing the Apprentice’s design skill set through a series of theoretical design projects including research methods, drawing, storyboarding, model building, etc. The Lighting Design Apprentice will split their time between the rigors of tech and the fast-paced environment of an active production office, honing skills and developing work practices that will guide them throughout their career in Lighting Design. The supervisors for this apprenticeship are Lighting Director Robert J. Aguilar and Lighting Associate Lily McLeod. 

 

PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES 

Throughout the course of the season, the Apprentice will: 

  • Serve as the primary Assistant Lighting Designer on at least one production 
  • Be exposed to and build relationships with some of the top designers in the country 
  • Culminate the program in one portfolio-worthy lighting design project, including a final light plot and lighting section, research images, and storyboards 
  • There may be some additional design-related experiences available depending on the season and the Apprentice’s availability 

 

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 

  • Prior knowledge of how to read and generate a lighting plot and basic lighting paperwork 
  • An understanding of standard stage lighting equipment 
  • Aptitude for creative problem solving 
  • Self-motivated 
  • Able to maintain patience and composure under pressure

ACCEPTABLE WORK SAMPLES: 

  • One hand or computer-drafted lighting plot with associated paperwork 
  • Either four photographs of your design work or a link to a digital portfolio or website that includes photographs of your design work
