The Fergus Grand Theatre Once Again Offers Theatre Technician Training!

CENTRE WELLINGTON – The Fergus Grand Theatre is excited to once again offer Theatre Technician Training in a twelve-week course format starting in September. 

This course, geared towards ages 16+, will provide the knowledge and skills required to become Approved Technicians at the Fergus Grand Theatre – no prior experience necessary. The first half of the course will cover the theoretical aspects of the role, while the second half will be primarily hands-on skills training.

Upon completion of this course and the required safety certifications, students may begin working as an apprentice with current technicians and eventually become an Approved Technician themselves!
