Theatre By Kids, For Kids!
Greetings from Tech Week for the Pirates of Penzance!
July 17, 2012
“Tech week” refers to the week prior to opening night of a production and involves everyone from the actors and technical crew to production staff and more. At this point, the actors have all of their music and lines memorized and will be focused on familiarizing themselves with the set and props. The technical crew will be working out all of their cues, as well as hanging lights, setting props, and getting acclimated with their roles in the show. It is a very busy week for everyone involved in the production and a lot of hard work, but it’s so much fun to see the show come together.
Hear from our talented and silly cast!

-Melina Smith, Daughter
“I like to gimp when I am not on stage.”
