  • There is only one staff technician. Crews largely consist of students with a range of experience.
  • Note: The Theatre is primarily an educational facility. No activities may interfere with that mission.
    (i.e. we may find it necessary to alter production/tech/rehearsal schedules in order accommodate ongoing classes and educational activities. Please be cordial to faculty, staff and students...for many of us, this is our home.)
  • If necessary, we can fax elevations and ground plans of the stage.
