Tired of complicated apps just to hire crew? So were we. iStagehand is a straightforward, pro-level directory built for one purpose: to connect you with skilled stagehands, techs, and backstage professionals — instantly.
Think of us like the Yellow Pages — rebuilt for live shows. Free to search. Free to contact. No middlemen.
Whether you're staffing a tour, filling a local show, or scrambling for extra hands last-minute — this is the faste st way to find help. Or at minimum, it’s a powerful extra tool to support your hiring needs.
Founded by Jeremy Dunn, the visionary behind Global Stunt Directory and Professional Stunt Registry — widely recognized as the world’s most professional stunt directory — iStagehand follows the same bold formula: clean design, professional appeal, no gatekeeping, and pure utility.
What he built for Hollywood stunt performers, he’s now expanding across the entire backstage world — starting with stagehands, then growing into Cirque artists, theatre professionals, and motion capture performers.
This isn’t just a listing — it’s a growing network for cross-functional talent. Stagehands who also rig for film and television.
Cirque performers who double in stunts.
Thespians who voice characters and perform in mocap.
If you’ve got the skills, we’ll help you be seen — wherever you’re needed.
( iCirque.com, iThespian.com, and iMoCap.com — coming soon. )
With over 25 years of industry experience and trusted relationships, our founder has built deep connections across film, live events, theater, and entertainment production. Backed by those relationships — and powered by our proprietary marketing engine and intelligent targeting software — we do more than list members. We promote our directories through the same industry channels and networks used by professionals who hire.
From production managers and casting teams to stage managers, showrunners, and venue leads — we put our platform where it matters, and let your profile do the talking.
When you’re part of iStagehand, you’re not buried in a database — you’re placed in the path of opportunity.
What happens next? That’s up to them.
So keep your profile clean. Stay professional. Be found.
