Non-Union Crewing
Upstage runs the largest non-union skilled labor pool in the Mountain West. The crew on your call are our people: we hire them, we train them, and we answer for them.
How A Call Runs
What it looks like when the crew, the gear and the trucks all come from one company.
One Contract
Crew, equipment and trucking booked together on a single contract, with a single point of contact.
Trained In-House
Our people come through the Upstage Training Academy before they reach your site. The standard on your call is a standard we set.
Depth At Scale
The largest non-union skilled labor pool in the Mountain West, with crews available at scale for load-in, show and strike.
Flexible Calls
A few stagehands or a full crew. We staff to what the production actually needs, not to a fixed minimum.
Accountable
If something on the call needs to change, you raise it with us and we fix it. There is no third party in between.
Safety First
Crew arrive ready for the demands of live event work, with on-site coordinators running schedules, breaks and logistics from setup to strike.
The Trades We Cover
A full suite of labor for events of every size, with rentals and logistics available alongside from the same partner.
- Stagehands for load-in, show and strike
- Audio, lighting and video technicians
- Riggers and carpenters
- Equipment operators
- Hair, makeup and wardrobe
- Site and venue setup
Is Upstage The Right Fit?
We staff non-union calls. If your venue or your production requires union labor, we are not the right crew for that date — tell us early and we will say so rather than waste your time. For everything else, ask: we cover Utah, Arizona, Colorado, California and Nevada, and deploy travel teams beyond that.
Put A Call On The Schedule
Tell us the date, the venue and what the show needs. We will tell you what it takes to crew it.
