One of the most important parts of any musical is the people behind the scenes who ensure that everything looks good and runs smoothly come show time. For this feature of the countdown, we took a look at what the tech crew of ‘Footloose’ was doing Wednesday after-school and what the set was looking like so far.
The tech crew takes care of the lighting, sound, stage management, set design, prop handling, and a whole lot more that allows it all to come together. They provide the physical infrastructure on which the thespians of the drama club use, and without the techies, well, let’s not think about that scenario.
Sawdust was flying in the air as we took our cameras into the auditorium to see what the ‘techies’, as the crew members are affectionately called, were up to. So far, the crew has done amazing work designing, constructing, and perfecting/painting the set and other features which will be revealed in action during the show.
The following pictures are just some of the many things tech crew was working on.
