Kalen Larson is an ETCP certified theatre rigger.  It is estimated that only 1 in 100 people in the live event production industry are ETCP certified.  Presently Kalen is 1 of the 8 certified theatre riggers in Michigan.

By providing a thorough, independent assessment of knowledge, skills and abilities for entertainment technology disciplines, the program seeks to enhance safety, reduce workplace risk, improve performance, stimulate training, and give due recognition to the professional skills of entertainment technicians.

ETCP is an industry-wide program of PLASA. Participating in the governance of the program are: Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), BASE Entertainment, Broadway Across America, The Broadway League, Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology (CITT), Cirque du Soleil/MGM MIRAGE, Disney Theatrical Productions, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), International Association of Assembly Managers (IAAM), InfoComm International, Live Nation, NBC Universal, Production Resource Group (PRG), Safety and Health in Arts Production and Entertainment (SHAPE), TEA, and United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT).
