Local 118 does not commit to referring (dispatching) applicants to work. Instead, in the event no members of I.A.T.S.E. are available for referral to employers, Local 118 dispatch may select any applicant for referral. As the selection is discretionary and subject to unpredictable employer requests, Local 118 does not acknowledge receipt of applications or offer estimates as to when applicants might be referred to employers.

The Performing Arts Safety Awareness course is a free course offered by ActSafe. All applicants must complete this course to work in this industry.

There are no prerequisites for our general stagehand labour (AKA: “grip”) positions beyond the Performing Arts Safety Awareness course. 

If you would like to provide verification that you have additional competency please refer to the IATSE 118 Skills Verification Procedure for more information.
