Tech Week Procedures

Tech week begins tomorrow, Friday 1/8. Because this is the first tech week for many of you, and due to some recent procedural changes, the following is a very important list of Tech Week Procedures.

(First, a quick reminder to freshmen & new students - lighting workshop tomorrow, 2:45-3:45 pm in the auditorium!)

1. Rehearsal

A detailed rehearsal schedule will be posted presently, but cast members can expect to rehearse potentially until 10 pm every day of tech week (excluding the weekend). The only exception is Thursday, dress rehearsal, during which we will work until we finish. Once a detailed schedule is posted, please arrange rides / meals accordingly.

No conflicts are accepted during tech week. Please speak with the management if you have any further questions.

2. Crew Priority Lists

At the beginning of each work day (directly following 9th period), Sal has requested that each crew hands in a list of priorities. This should include the projects scheduled for the day, the person in charge of each project, a deadline, and (if different) the person in charge of cleanup. At the end of work a representative from each crew can report back to Sal about what was accomplished.

The time before drama class begins is a great time to create this list. CCs, please communicate with your crew members about this new procedure.

3. A Message From Parent Boosters

Dear Students,

As another hell week approaches, we, Parent Boosters, would like to do a few little things to help you stay healthy during the week:

  • We will supply you with water bottles. (You may want to write your name on the bottle, to help avoid waste).
  • We will put out a variety of healthy snacks.
  • We will have hand sanitizers available for your use (PLEASE USE THEM!)
  • We will supply dinner on the evening of dress rehearsal, (a box dinner; sandwich wrap and chips. Please make sure you fill out the form indicating your sandwich preference)
  • As we have done in the past, we will provide a buffet type dinner on opening night, Friday, January 15.

We hope to set the water and snacks up in the drama room, so you can get them as you come and go during the afternoon and evening hours.

Have a healthy and productive week!

-Parent Drama Boosters



We are looking forward to a safe, stress-free tech week.
