Technical Theatre Classes are offered for students interested in learning more about the different areas behind the scenes and provide them hands on experience in actual production work. Theatre Arts is the introductory theatre class and gives students the basics of all areas of theatre. Technical Theatre is the beginning of more in-depth construction basics and set building. Advanced Technical Theatre goes beyond the basics and examines set design, lighting, sound, and set decoration. The next in the series is Theatre Production which examines all aspects of the backstage and applying that to actual productions.
All Technical Theatre students are required to participate in after-school work time in the Auditorium or Scene Shop. These work sessions are typically scheduled after school and can include construction, painting, stage set-up, lighting, sound or whatever is needed.
Students can also join the Tech Crew and actually work backstage on one of the Auditorium Productions during the year. Tech Crew positions available for productions are : Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager, Fly Captain, Grip, Sound Board Operator, Light Board Operator, Spot Light Operator. Students need only contact Mrs. Brown to indicate their interest in participating.
