Scenic Design Opportunity – Seussical (High School Production)

Please include "Seussical Set Designer - [Your Name]" in the subject line.

We are seeking a student or early-career scenic designer to create a CAD-based rendering for a high school production of Seussical.

This is a fully remote design opportunity focused on elevating an existing concept into a cohesive, playful, and imaginative base set that fits the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss.

Stage Specifications - Width: 25’, Depth: 29’, Height: 10.5’

Scope of Work

• Base set design only (no scene shifts)
  
  
• CAD rendering required
  
  
• No paint colors or textures needed — focus on form, scale, and structure
  
  
• Design will build upon provided shapes and required elements
  
  
• Goal is to enhance and stylize these elements into a more elevated, cohesive Seussical environment
  
  
• Set should anticipate and incorporate exciting lighting elements (e.g. cutouts, layering, depth, reveal moments)
  
  
  • General knowledge of how scenery interacts with lighting is a plus for rendering purposes
    
    
  • A dedicated on-site lighting designer/technician will handle all lighting design and execution

Ideal Candidate

• Student designer, recent graduate, or early-career scenic designer
  
  
• Comfortable working in CAD (Vectorworks, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar)
  
  
• Interested in theatrical storytelling, playful geometry, and imaginative design
  
  
• Basic understanding of scenic–lighting interaction is a plus

Stipend

• $500–$750, based on experience and expected hours

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Fully remote and flexible
  
  
• Clear scope and expectations
  
  
• Strong portfolio-building project
  
  
• Credit provided in the production program
  
  
• Collaborative and supportive creative environment
• Potential similar future opportunities
