There isn't really a concrete specific schedule that we have, it all depends on what we started and where we left off and what we need to do each day
During Our Tech Week
Tech week is when all our final touches are being done on the set. This week is when everything should be 100% done.
Risers are done and painted BLACK

Crew follows the crew chief but during this week the stage manager will utilize the crew to help get things prepared for the show
During Our Show Week
Our show week is pretty relaxed, it is ONLY relaxed if we work super hard during Tech Week and get things done
Stage manager utilizes crew to help move props and other set pieces
Crew is used by stage manager to help prepare for each show
EVERYONE WEARS BLACK
Crew us used by concessions, ticket sales, props, etc. to help set up and take down each show day
Crew is done with building and are basically used as manpower to help other departments
Set Strike
Set strike is the Monday or the day or so after the show where we literally take down everything and make it like we didn't even do anything. All day we de construct the set and take down the risers. Usually older members get signed out for the whole day to de construct. We put everything back into the basement and the paint closet or the garbage depending on if its salvageable or not.
We also get to sign books and celebrate a successful show at the end.
