Assistant technical director

The Assistant Technical Director’s overall purpose is to collaborate with the company’s Technical Director in their duties as needed from inception to closing. The ATD’s duties are assigned directly by the Technical Director and vary depending on the abilities of the assistant and the needs of a particular show. The ATD for a production will often serve as a crew lead during the scenic construction events and assure proper planning and implementation of various technical aspects of a show. An ATD must be a team player with excellent leadership skills and diverse interest in all aspects of technical theatre.
