What are the time demands of crew members during rehearsals and performances?
Crew members attend fewer rehearsals than actors because their main job begins when the production moves to the stage during tech week. But the crew has only a short few days to learn their jobs and to coordinate hundreds of lighting, sound and set cues; therefore their tech week rehearsals may be longer than those of the cast. Crew members are trained to use professional sound and light boards, and learn their jobs under the supervision of talented professionals. The Children’s Theatre is one of the only theatres that train children to do these important jobs.
