Tech Refresher And Training

Last night our soon to be moving Tech Guy gave us a refrehser course on the technical aspects of the Theatre. He and his family will be moving away to Houston to pursue new opportunities, we wish them the very best! He has done a ton for the Theatre and can't be replaced, it's that simple. He's one of a kind for sure!

With that said the Theatre will need to recruit new tech people for the upcoming seasons. A handful of people now run the shows and that will wear us all very thin soon. We need new blood to come in and learn the ropes of putting on a show tech wise. That will lighten the load off of everyone.

It's an important job and often overlooked by our Theatre friends, well until they need someone or two people up in the booth and can't find anyone. So I'd encourage all of the directors in our Theatre, all of the regular actors in our Theatre, and anyone that might be interested to contact the Theatre and get a bit of training on how to set up the lights and sound and run them during for a show. Otherwise that stage might be blacked out at the worst moment when you can't find anyone and don't know how to run it yourself.
