Nauvoo Pageant | Tech Crew
Applications to serve as volunteers are accepted from September 1 to October 31 each year. The Nauvoo Pageant Tech Crew consists of able-bodied single young men, ages 16 and older, who serve as site workers and technical support for the pageant. Applicants should be spiritually and emotionally mature young men preparing for or having served fulltime missions and recommended by their bishops for this unique opportunity. Participants on the work crew will be assigned a district and will participate in daily required missionary preparation class, devotionals, and pageant meetings. All tech crew members will be expected to observe missionary standards, including personal grooming (a missionary haircut and a clean-shaven face), media and cell-phone usage.
Tech crew members will assist with technical elements of the pageants, including the stage, props, lighting, site, and Country Fair. Crew members will work closely with pageant staff and cast members. Crew members may serve on either of the two crews (scheduled dates are found in the application). Service on the tech crew is physically demanding, and those accepted must be medically certified to be in excellent physical condition to withstand the strain of long work days (12-16 hours) outdoors in heat and high humidity. Accepted tech crew members will also need to provide proof of primary insurance coverage and those under 18 will need a signed parental/guardian permission form. Tech crew members will also have opportunities to participate in cast activities, including youth baptismal sessions at the Nauvoo Temple. Each person needs to bring his own current temple recommend.
Tech Crew members are responsible for their own personal expenses and transporation from home to and from St. Louis. The pageant provides transportation from the St. Louis airport to Nauvoo. Upon acceptable completion of their tech crew assignment, travel expenses can be reimbursed (travel receipts are required to be turned in for this reimbursement) up to $400.00 and will be returned to the tech crew member prior to their departure date.
Lodging, food and local transportation for Work and Technical Crew will be provided.
