Theatre Tech Club:
Students in Theatre Tech Club support Larkin shows and events by helping behind the scenes. This can include building sets, scenic painting, and working with lighting, sound, rigging, and video equipment. They will have opportunities to gain hands on experience with modern theatrical equipment & shop tools (additional permission will be needed to use some power tools). Additionally, students may have opportunities to attend the Illinois High School Theatre Fest (after their 1st year in Tech Club) and other theatre related field trips.
