Join the Stage Crew
When the time comes for a show to be performed for an audience, students can apply to join the Stage Crew. Stage Crew members work backstage or in the booth during live performances of shows. A position on the Stage Crew requires students to be available for all tech rehearsals (covering about 2 weeks) and all performances. The performers onstage rely heavily on the Stage Crew and crew members must be reliable, consistant and dedicated.

Apply to be a Crew Leader
Crew Leadership positions are available to students by application or by special arrangement only. This is a way for experienced crew members to take on a student leadership position in the production. Crew Leaders are involved in the production from the very beginning of the rehearsal process and help to shape the production by working closely with the directors.

Come to Build Day
The best way to get started working on the tech crew for a show is to attend the crew Build Days.
