Tech Crew

MGMS Theater has opportunities for students who prefer to work behind the stage, instead of on it.

The technical team is a crucial part of any show -  without a tech crew, the actors would stand on an empty stage, in the dark, wearing the clothes they arrived in, without an audience to perform for. 

At Maple Grove Middle, you can apply to be a part of the tech crew where you could learn to design lighting, control microphones, move set pieces, build sets and props, and design costumes, hair, and stage makeup. 

Our philosophy surrounding technical theater education is that every student should be encouraged to explore and create in as many areas of tech theater as possible. Our mission is to equip students with the biggest range and variety of skills we can before they enter high school - this looks like placing students in as many different tech departments as possible during their time at MGMS. We are very fortunate to have a large number of students interested in technical theater and students are selected for tech crew through an application process. 

*The tech crew is assisted by High School Advisors that will help you learn your part in our show(s)!*
