KOTA Productions is hiring a Set Designer & Builder for our mainstage production of Matilda at Theatre Row in New York, NY.

We are looking for someone with experience creating smart, effective scenic designs for fast-paced productions. The ideal candidate is comfortable with quick load-ins and load-outs, designing creatively within a limited budget, and working in a production environment with young actors.

Venue specs include an approximate stage size of 47′ wide × 21′ deep and a grid height of 18′10″ from deck. There is no fly system, so all scenic elements must be grounded. Wing space is extremely limited, and a backdrop has already been rented.
