Backstage crew is the behind-the-curtains part of all productions. As the name suggests, members help out backstage by moving props, creating some fun sound effects for the shows, changing the backgrounds of scenes, and making sure everything is perfect before the curtains open.
Some days after school (and sometimes over the weekend), there is an opportunity for students to paint props and backgrounds for the upcoming show, referred to as set construction! Crew members will be chosen based on commitment to set construction.
Backstage crew is a very fun way to get closely involved with Players without being in the spotlight. Being backstage allows members to make closer bonds with one another while also being beside the cast often throughout rehearsals, tech week, and the during the show itself.
