Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Seasonal Staff for The Ground Floor: 2026 Summer Residency Lab! 

While we have a range of staff we hire for The Summer Residency Lab, we are always in need of Production Assistants, in particular. Berkeley Rep aims to reflect the diversity of the Bay Area and encourages applicants of all backgrounds and abilities to apply.

Production Assistants are integral to providing a welcoming, fun space for the creation of new work. Production Assistants are primarily responsible for shuttling artists between the airport, our housing, and offices, setting up and taking down our nightly communal dinners, and collaborating closely with the seasonal and Berkeley Rep staff on day-to-day tasks related to hospitality and production. Production Assistants will have many opportunities to interact with BRT staff and guest artists, including participating in meet-and-greets, attending Q&A sessions, observing readings and presentations, and simply chatting over dinner. Production Assistants are hired from 4 to 6 weeks to work at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. 

Production Assistants should be available between June 1st, 2026 and July 7th, 2026. Schedules vary daily and may include morning, evening or weekend hours between 8am-10pm for up to 40 hours per week. This position requires light physical activity, with reasonable accommodations available. Production assistants will be expected to drive our company vehicles including a seven-passenger van; a valid driver's license is required.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and are due no later than 5pm PT on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Rate: $23.50/hour
