If you are available and interested in working on the event and are available for the call, you simply need to respond to the email letting us know that you are able to work the call. If you are scheduled for an event, you will get an email back confirming your status on the call. When it comes time for the event, you'll just come to the location outlined in the call email and you'll work with a supervisor on staff who will provide instructions for what to do that day. Calls vary from as short as 4 hours on a single day to full week theatrical runs. The call emails will detail availability requirements for multi-day productions.
