Backstage FAQ's

Q:  I am interested, but I've never done anything backstage before.  Can I still work tech?
A:  Absolutely, we would love to have you backstage, even if you've never done it before.  We will teach you what you need to know along the way.

Q:  How often do we meet for backstage work?
A:  For the majority of January and February, we will meet once a week after school.  Two weeks before the show (the week starting March), we may meet more often.  We will have tech calls the weekend of March 11-12.  Production week (the week starting March 13), we will meet every day as we will be doing tech/dress rehearsals for the show, and these rehearsals will run later (potentially until 9:30 pm).  Performances will be March 17, 18, and 19.

Q:  Do I have to be in a Technical Theatre Class to work backstage?
A:  No, anyone can work backstage as long as you are a Pinecrest student.  To be a leader or designer, you should be the technical theatre class.
          Note:  Students who are graduating early (January 2023) are not eligible to work on the show.

Q:  Does it cost anything to do the musical?
A:  There is no cost to perform in or work backstage for the musical.  There are fundraising and sponsorship opportunities to help offset production costs, and we ask that families help towards this if they are able.  But these are not required to participate.
