Spring 2025 Crew Schedules now available!
Participation in backstage crew is open to all students and community members. Crew members are an essential part of the production team and serve as stagehands, dressers, make-up technicians, lighting operators, and audio/video technicians. No prior experience is required.
The department of theater does a season of four or five productions each year. We typically do one musical and one straight play each semester.
Crew members attend all technical and dress rehearsals and participate in every performance of the show that they are assigned to. Typically, students are assigned to only one show per semester. Since each crew member fulfills a unique role in the production, attendance at all rehearsals and performances is critical. Please review the schedule below for rehearsal and performance times. These schedules are preliminary and may differ slightly from the actual rehearsal schedules. What appears below is presented only as an example for the purpose of helping people assess their ability to participate.
Scenic Crew Schedule E or H
