Production Crew

What is Production Crew?

(6 - 12th grades)

Production Crew is made up to two workshops:  Tech Theatre Workshop for 6th - 8th Grade and Production Team for 9th - 12th Grade. Students will be introduced to all aspects of working backstage, with particular attention to safety and learning important skills.  Students may be asked to climb tall ladders up to the catwalk and the above-stage storage area.  Each successive year in these workshops builds on existing skills, and there will be opportunities for more experienced students in Production Team to mentor those beginning students in Tech Theatre Workshop.
