Interested in getting involved backstage? Teens ages 12-18 are invited to join the technical theatre program, at no cost, and learn more about the technical aspects of theatre while getting hands-on experience. Be a part of the run crew while learning about lights, sound, set and props, costumes, and stage management. Backstage experience is essential to high school tech applications and college applications, and your time can be applied towards volunteer hours or thespian points! This program is offered to help increase technical theatre opportunities in the area and train future technicians!
About
Participants in the Spring 2025 tech program will get to be a part of the run crew for our mainstage production of Shrek, Jr. Students will be assigned specific roles on the crew based on their interests, and all students will attend during the show's tech week to learn about the process of loading into a theatre, setting up and testing equipment, following cues, assisting with quick changes, and moving set pieces and props. Those interested in lighting and sound may also have a chance to learn about relevant equipment and assist the board operator. All tech students will collaborate with the directors and student actors to help put together the puzzle pieces of the show, and they will work as a team to help the performances run smoothly.
