Tech week is an exciting week of rehearsals at the theater when we set the technical aspects of the show, and for the first time the cast and crew start working with sets, props, costumes, lights, sound, and spacing. Each cast will have 3 dress rehearsals and 2 performances.
Attendance: All tech week rehearsals and performances are mandatory. There can be no absences. Missing a mandatory rehearsal may result in being removed from the show.
