Tech Crew Information

11/13/2023

 
Tech Crews: Running/Set Crew, Light/Sound Crew, Hair/Make-up Crew, Ushers

What is the crew?  Crew members are the behind-the-scenes members of a show that make the cast members come to life - building and moving set pieces, running the lights and sound, organizing costumes and make-up, and helping the audience to find their seats and get their programs.

What is expected of crew members? Crew meets separately from the cast at the beginning, since they have specific things they need to do. Because of the concerts that take place in December, we aren’t able to be on the stage to do work until January, so crews won’t begin meeting (except for one day to get contracts and calendars) until after winter break.

What types of crews are there? 
  1. Running/Set Crew members who work on stage to move set pieces and do scene changes during the show 
  2. Light/Sound Crew members help the high school student directors to run the light and sound boards
  3. Hair/Make-up Crew members help the cast before the show and assist with costume changes
  4. Ushers work as ticket scanners, people to pass out programs, and helpers for people who need to find their seats

When do I need to attend?
The calendar that the cast was given for January is linked here, but each group reports as follows:
  • Running/Set Crew: All January Rehearsals (including Saturdays), Preview Day, Performances
  • Light/Sound Crew: 2 Saturday Rehearsals, Tech Week, Show Week, Preview Day, Performances
  • Hair/Make-Up Crew: One Saturday Rehearsal, Tech Week, Show Week, Preview Day, Performances
  • Ushers: Photo Night, Preview Day, Performances (February 1-3)

How can I join?  By Tuesday, November 21, 2023, complete the Crew Application Google Form WITH YOUR PARENT/GUARDIAN.  There is a portion that parents need to complete so please make sure you discuss and fill it out together.  You must use your student email address to complete the form.

Questions? Contact Mr. Cloonan ([email protected]).  He can be found at the middle school Tuesday through Friday during periods 1-3 in Room A011 directly below the nurse’s office, or after school most days in the auditorium working with the cast.
