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: We meet 1-2 days a week after school (starting the week after the initial tech interest meeting) from 4-5:30. For the week before the show (production week), we meet every day/evening until late. A detailed schedule will be available as we start working on the show.
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, it is very helpful to be the technical theatre class.
Note: If you are a senior and graduating early, you are not eligible to work on the show.
Q: Does it cost anything to do the musical?
A: We do ask that all students involved in the musical contribute a 'fair share' to help cover production costs that are not covered by ticket sales alone. Click here for more details about the fair share.
