Crew Callout

The production crews work on all 3 productions produced throughout the year by Crown Point High School Theatre. The production crew puts the show together. They work on the technical elements needed for the show, build the scenery, paint the set, hang the lights, set up the sound equipment, create costumes. Crew sessions for sound & lights, construction, and painting usually take place on Saturdays and after school in the weeks leading up to the show.

Selected members will also be invited to be on the running crew. The running crew duties include stage managing, stagehands, sound and light board operation, spotlight operation, microphone tech, fly crew, wardrobe, hair and makeup. These members will need to be present for all performances.

Crew Application Information

Please read the following points that you should consider prior to signing up.

Everyone who wants to be on a crew must apply, even past crew members must reapply to secure their position.
Crew is hard work and can be as demanding as any other aspect of the production.
Crew work sessions are NOT optional!
The largest crews, with the most openings, are set construction and set painting, while the smallest crews, with the least amount of openings, are costume/make-up/hair and light & sound.
You may, in the future, switch crews if there are openings.
The running crew is the group that runs the show on performance nights. The running crew for the show is typically chosen 1-2 weeks before opening night and will be based on attendance, performance on crew, seniority, and the needs of the show.

Crew Information

Light & Sound

Light & Sound members will hang and focus lighting elements for the show, find and edit sound effects, and program and run the light and sound board. This crew will also support the performing arts department throughout the year.

Paint

Painting crew will tape and paint the set using a variety of techniques. This adds to the realism of our sets. You are expected you to stay on task, use self-motivation, and keep your area and brushes clean.

Publicity
