Join the Straight Street Crew

Well-run shows need a crew that takes the craft seriously.

Straight Street is a Cambridge-based production company for live, virtual, and hybrid events across Southern Ontario. We’re always glad to hear from experienced event professionals who plan the show properly and take pride in getting it right.

Straight Street has produced live events across Southern Ontario since 1997 — conferences, galas, festivals, ice shows, theatre, and more.

The work is good because the crew is good: experienced people who plan the show properly, treat the client’s event as their own, and take pride in a room that sounds clear and looks right. If that’s how you work, we’d like to hear from you.

We hire freelance and contract crew on a project basis, with flexible hours around the event calendar.

Who we’re looking for

We’re always interested in experienced professionals across the technical trades:

  • Lighting — designers, programmers, and operators.
  • Sound — designers and operators.
  • Projection and video — designers and operators.
  • General event technicians — skilled hands who know a live event floor.
  • Warehouse and logistics — prep, load-in, and gear management.

Have other technical expertise? Tell us — we’re open to it.

What we look for

Above the specific skill, we look for the same things on every crew: sound judgment, proven technical experience, and the professionalism to own your part of a live event when it matters most. Managerial and creative experience is a welcome bonus.

What it’s like to work with us
  • Shows that are planned, not improvised. You’ll work events with a real plan and a rehearsal — the difference between a good night and a long one.
  • Competitive industry compensation. Fair pay for skilled work.
  • Health and safety as a priority. Proper rigging, proper practices, every time — not an afterthought.
  • A supportive, collaborative team. People who respect your craft and your time.

Straight Street is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds.
