Stage Tech Spotlight
Costumes
The magic of transformation begins with our costume crew! They are the artists who turn actors into their characters with every stitch and button. Whether it’s designing period pieces or sewing modern ensembles, the costume team ensures that each outfit enhances the story being told, all while staying practical for quick changes and high-energy performances.

Set
The set crew takes the blank canvas of the stage and turns it into an immersive world. From painting backdrops to constructing platforms, they bring the director’s vision to life, creating spaces that transport the audience. Every scene change is a new challenge for this team of builders, painters, and designers, and they love turning wood and paint into theatrical magic.

Stage Management
In the heart of every production is the stage manager, the ultimate multitasker! From rehearsals to curtain calls, stage managers keep everything running smoothly, coordinating actors, tech crews, and directors. They ensure that each performance is seamless, keeping track of cues, changes, and schedules. It’s like being the conductor of a symphony where every note matters!

Props
Every small detail you see on stage, from an actor’s coffee cup to a magic wand, comes from the creative hands of the props team. They make sure each item tells part of the story, working behind the scenes to find or build the perfect objects that bring the world of the play to life. They are also our art team, painting sets, props, and bringing color to the worlds we create. Their job requires imagination and sometimes a little scavenger hunting!

Business
Behind the scenes, the business team makes sure the show goes on—both onstage and financially! They handle everything from ticket sales to marketing, keeping our productions running smoothly. This team runs all social media campaigns, fundraising, and they are also our graphics department, designing our posters and promotional materials. This crew helps promote the shows, organize fundraisers, and keep the theatre program thriving. Their work ensures the lights stay bright and the seats are full!
