Winter Term Technical Theater

Winter Tech Theater is a one-term, production-based activity where students practice Technical Theater skills while working on the MS Musical, the Winter Play, and the Advanced Theater Production. This activity is open to both experienced and inexperienced technicians; it includes on-the-job training which prepares students to take on design, production, and devising challenges. Technical theater roles may include stage management, run crew, set, props, lighting, projection, and sound production. Winter Tech Theater offers dedicated students a chance to build essential skills such as effective communication, problem solving, organization, iteration, and leadership. Students entering this activity should be highly motivated and interested in an intense and exciting experience that requires a great deal of commitment.

Winter Tech meets each day from 3:45pm-5:30pm. Additional rehearsals may be required depending on which production students are assigned to.  For instance, in the weeks leading up to the Winter Play and Advanced Theater performances, Saturday rehearsals are added as well as late rehearsals ending at 6:30pm the week before the show, 9:00pm the week of the show, and later into the evening for the actual performances.  Based on the size of the crew and production needs of the play, participation will be confirmed during the first week of the term.
