Teen Tech Crew

Winter Technical Theater Program for Ages 12+

This limited spot program is to learn the technical side of theatrical productions. Learn skills in lighting, sound, props, set design, construction and dressing.
This program is open to students ages 12+ and will cover both The SpongeBob Musical and Finding Nemo Jr.

Teen Tech Crew Program

Our Teen Tech Crew is a hands-on technical theatre program for students ages 12+ who want to learn what it takes to bring a production to life behind the scenes.

Crew members will work alongside our production team while learning and assisting with areas such as lighting, sound, sets, props, costumes, backstage operations, and other technical elements.

Space is limited.

Program fee is $25 per student.

Hands-On Training

No previous technical theatre experience is required! Students will learn through a combination of instruction and hands-on experience as we prepare for both of our 2027 youth productions: Finding Nemo JR. and SpongeBob the Musical: Youth Edition.

As production needs develop, students will have opportunities to explore different areas of technical theatre and discover where their interests and skills fit best.

Crew Schedule

  • Program Dates: January–March 2027

  • Saturdays: Some Saturdays will be required as we get closer to performances.

  • Tech Weeks: Crew members are required to participate in two consecutive tech weeks leading into our youth productions.
