Not sure there is an actual VIP entrance' About 1:45 is where the club entrance is and that's on the South side of the theatre' Enjoy.

Yo dude I just got my first gig as a stage hand tomorrow. All I did was email my latse local and asked if I could help out. Gave them my phone number and got a text the next day. Super excited. Hope this helps ya.

Go to local concerts' shows or venues and ask if they are hiring for stagehands.

⁠@@HinndwanGaminghow has it been so far for you? i have my first gig on saturday

Thx!

Very true

@spyder027 Fight for your right to "SHOW BACON." Im going to make it a T shirt .Sexy Red cancel today weather 😫

Nice' That must have been a great show.

This is going to sound corny but stage hand work is life changing! You set your own hours the pay is pretty great without having a degree. Most all hands are the best people you’ll ever meet. There is always something different with every set up/ take down. You can work all over the country! The only time that you may be bored is when you’re not working! Don’t walk …run to sign up! Best of luck to you!

I been doing it 8 years I got lucky enough my neighbor brought me into this because I had no idea this was something I could be apart of. It was my first real job and I absolutely love it

No you don't. It's a step above being a carny, but like, you don't want no part of this shit. The hours suck, God forbid you start traveling, then your job becomes your whole existence. The skills you learn building stages and in the entertainment industry are so specific they don't transfer to other industries as well as you would think, and then you end up getting stuck in entertainment because nothing will pay you as much. And like union work is good money but from my experience they have to much expectations and non union work unless you own your own company or are working for small companies just doesn't pay enough for all the BS you have to deal with especially after seeing some union money. It's always stressful in the slow season even if your working through it, it took the fun out of shows for me. There's room to move up and keep making more money It's just fucking demanding work, like fuck your family friends pets everything else. The good stuff is you can make a lot of money. Five hour minimums and 8 hour minimums are the shit, getting paid a day rate is the shit. If your on with a company where you travel and get per diem and hotels It's cool, but not when it's year round and your only home like 10 spread out days throughout the year. Idk to each his own. Definitely life changing work. Especially as a rigger you get to do and see some pretty epic shit get built and it's totally awesome, buuuuuut, have higher aspirations it's a step above being a carny, if you can do something else do something else. There's no winners being a stage hand. That being said I had a lot of fun in that industry saw the country built Hella cool shit and now I'm a firefighter but I still watch videos of stagehand work and rigging because it brings me back, and no one really understands what it was like except your fellow stagehands. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but like there's better jobs bruh.

@@Bigzthelovelocal 1?

@lyagami4533 nope, I did some union gigs some of there guys where on, good dudes for sure, great riggers. Local 1 has very good pay from what i hear, but what dudes on local 1 told me is after you factor in the cost of living in nyc it evens out with what other unions make. I was on another east coast union, also did some union work in the south. Prefer to keep it anonymous it's a small industry. I say enough stuff someone who knows me could figure it out easy.

This isn't a charity gig' Lol.

Plenty of parking as it's part of the Park Central Mall' Haven't been back since I took the video so not sure what's become of it.

Awesome' Thx.

@@Alex_Eggers PRG is huge 😍

There have been a few comedy specials taped at this venue over the years.

@@BillDenny1 Could you give me the name of one or two specials done here other than Tom Segura's special. I would really like to check them out.

What is the difference between stagehand, steelhand and local, backline what persons get best money? Haha 🤔 sorry I not know much, it new to me.

Find the veterans and pick there brains' Stay Safe at all times' And never do something you're not comfortable doing.

@@BillDenny1 thank you ! I will - safety First

Learn your knots, know your gear, trust your gear, and inspect your gear regularly.

@@thehillcabin Thanks man, i sure will!

@@thehillcabin the most important knots to know?

That was the idea' to give what most people don't get to see' Thx for watching.

Lol' Some people think the history of the location should be a part of the new development including Myself' Thx For Watching.

Awesome!! Thank You so much!!!

Dude, this is what I do, and most of the time, we are only ever shown appreciation by the people on our teams. It warms my heart that you see us. Thanks! 🙌🤘

I got my hands in there' And I always make sure it's ok to take pics and vids before I do so. Thx for Watching!!!

Thank You' And Thank You for Watching.

Awesome! Glad I could help out. Thx For Watching.

Yes it is' I've seen things. Thx For Watching.

I've went on Facebook and ask some of the Arizona Ghost hunters have they heard of anything of celebrity theater being haunted and they claim no. But that's the contrary to what you're saying. I knew it was haunted because last year I went to the Morris Day and time concert and I had like a weird feeling. I'm not saying I'm a psychic and all that but I just got a weird feeling it wasn't that bad of a feeling but it was weird. Also the place doesn't look like it's kept up on. In other words it looks old so that just added to the feeling .

@@BillDenny1 What haunted moments have you experienced at the Celebrity Theater ?? Please be specific.

$$$$$' Thx For Watching.

Awesome' Thx For Watching.

@@BillDenny1 working Elton John!

What do the union rules say about posting to RUclips? I want to do the same thing but am afraid I will get fired!

@@helloworldstudios412 Not sure about union rules' But as for me I have a good feel it's okay to shoot video on a job site' I don't mention the name of the show or concert and stay away from band names or logos. Keep it related to industry and/or stagehand stuff and you should be okay. You will just have to use your best judgement on what is okay and what is not. Hope that helps.

@@BillDenny1 I did mention the artist after load out, I stuck to labor stuff, stage assembly, load in, load out and didn't violate any copyrights. As far as I know, the only confidential information might be names, ss numbers, financial information and such, it's educational for outsiders.

Glad I could provide the update' Thx For Watching.

Not a bad seat in the house' Thx For Watching.

That's Awesome!!! I never wear the ones that say "Local Crew" They stay in the box til I decide what to do with them' I'll wear the others if it's a band I like. Thx For Watching.

This particular show was about a week long build' Roof structure first then production' 2 night show then about 3 - 4 days to take it all down.

Hours can be crazy. I've come in at 10pm and worked to sun up to swap a big projector screen. So much is happening. A beehive of controlled chaos..lol

Hey Thx for watching! I try to get clips of gigs when I can' But I am working' I will try and get some load-in clips on upcoming gigs. As for tools it's usually the standard a Crescent wrench' a knife and sometimes my lighting tool on me while working' I do keep a few basic tools in my backpack in case something comes up' hope that helps.

@@BillDenny1 awesome-thanks-that helps...

With this particular venue Lights' Sound and Video are in-house and pre-hung' And most load-ins are just the band gear off of a bus or trailer. So not much to make a Load-in vid for RUclips. Thx for watching.

On most gigs stagehands and riggers are two separate jobs' Sometimes stagehands may need to get in a manlift to do there job and may require a harness' Hope that helps. Thx For Watching.

@@BillDenny1 Thanks, Bill! Two more questions, is working as a Stagehand enough to make a good living? Do you only work in one place? Or does it vary, depending on the show?

@@jeremybermejo6200 I would say yes you can make a living as a stagehand' However techs such as sound engineers or lighting designers can have a bump in pay and set day-rates. Most stagehands don't work in one place unless they are working for a theater or venue.

Every city is different and not all IATSE Chapters have enough work to go around. But, if you are in a larger city with a few venues and also do surrounding events, heck yeah! You can easily make a living out of it. And no, you don't have to get off the ground. A high majority of Stagehands are ground only. You'll either be in Carpentry, Audio, Lighting, Pusher, Utility or Truck Loading. If I was you I'd give them a call or visit the website and apply. Get on the call list. You don't need to join the Union to be a stagehand.

I work for local 2 iatse Chicago . You ever get in ?

That is really cool' I had read the patrons would park at the bottom of the mountain and a 4 wheel drive would drive them up to the restaurant. Thx For Watching.
