ETCP Certifies 36 IATSE Local One Members in Theatre Rigging

Stage Directions: Thirty-six riggers from I.A.T.S.E. Local One earned Rigger – Theatre Cerftication from the Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP). It’s a statement of the quality of stagehands working in Local One, as well as the org itself—the Local has made certification a priority with its Training, Education and Technology (TET) Fund, spearheaded by Education Committee Chairman Brother Paul Dean, Jr. In addition to his other duties as a chairman on the Local’s board of trustees, Dean helped organize a four-day training course in the run up to the certification exam.
