Best Answer

A stagehand is a person who helps setup and run a theatrical production. He or she usually works freelance in a particular area of the country on various touring shows as they travel locally. Traditionally, the stagehand will wear all black. Required tools are a good pair of work shoes, a crescent wrench, a multi-tool (like a Leatherman or Gerber), a cell phone and dependable transportation. Stagehands help in the construction of a set and may assist in the running of a spotlight, props, fly loft or in wardrobe. They report to a local steward who acts as liason between the stagehand and road crew. Many stagehands belong to IATSE, a subsidiary of the Teamsters Union. Many stagehands will have a geographical radius from their home that they are willing to work in, but many others live on the road, travelling from gig to gig.
