Every fall and spring, some of the most awaited events of the year are the productions put on by the MRHS Theater Company. Everybody knows and sees what happens on stage with the actors, but hardly anybody knows what happens backstage and behind the scenes. Below are a few quotes from the tech crew, who make the show go smoothly and ensure the best experience for both actors and audience members.
"Working behind the scenes—in my case, with special effects—provides a whole new perspective on the development and creation of the show. It is very interesting to see what happens backstage and fun to work with the people around me." - Timothy Gray
"Being a stage manager comes with a lot of responsibilities and leadership. Having to be in charge of a five-person crew and a twenty-person cast is challenging; luckily at Monomoy, we have two. I share the role with anyone who is interested—usually, it’s Asher! Trying to make a fun and supportive atmosphere with the cast and crew is essential to putting on a great show! I love having the opportunity of being in a leader’s role and to support my peers. It is such a fun experience and I am so happy I get to do it with the people who help make the theater program a safe place!" - Charlotte Skinner
