To celebrate 40 years of providing stages, structures, and rigging for the entertainment and events industry, we're sharing some old photos from throughout the years.

It's great looking back at where we've came from and the people who we worked with along the way. Here's some of the stages and structures we've built. (And yes, some of these are film photos we had to scan in).

Opportunity Alert:

If you want to get into event and entertainment production, production rigging, event project management, or running crews - but you don't have any experience yet or have just graduated - we have open entry-level positions in our warehouse.

The cool parts:
1. You'll learn on the job (ie: you'll get paid to learn)
2. There are ample opportunities to move up into various positions (site leads, project management, production rigging, CDL driving, fabrication). As you learn, you'll also go out to job sites and on actual builds.
3. If you work full-time, you get benefits.

The hard parts:
1. This is not a 9-5 job. You'll need to be available to work early mornings and some later evenings, weekends, and holidays. Especially in the summer.
2. It's hard and dirty work. You'll be pushing, pulling, and lifting (safely) heavy gear. You're going to go home tired and dirty afterwards. But it will feel so good too.
3. There's a lot to learn. The gear, how to safely move and use it, how to inspect it, how to repair it. It's a lot. But you'll have lots of people helping you learn.

If this sounds like something you want to do, go to this posting on our careers page: https://unitedstaging.com/careers/ -assoc

It has more details and where to send your information. Since you won't have industry-related experience, write a quick cover letter telling us why you want to work in this industry and what you want to learn.

We highly encourage people of all backgrounds to apply. The work is hard, but we find time to have fun too. If you have a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and like getting your hands dirty, apply!

We're at the clerb fam! Club 40 that is.

Yup! It's our birthday and we're officially 40 years old (if you can't tell by the very unhip way we just said "clerb fam").

We've been around for 40 years, providing stages, structures, and rigging for live and filmed events.

And we're celebrating. With some new trucks, our new Salem, NH warehouse, and making our UNI-Blocs buy-able! (Oh yeah, you can purchase your own now.)

How did you, or how do you want to, celebrate your 40th birthday?
