Theater Tech - Spring 2020 - Fantastic Mr. Fox - REGISTRATION CLOSED 

Wanted: Masters of the Universe. We are looking for our next adventurous tech team. Students will transport our actors to the world of Mr. Fox by learning about what goes on and into the behind the scenes of putting on a theater performance and become our tech crew for the school play. Students will be divided into the main categories (sound/lighting, costumes, make-up, props, and publicity) that they will learn about and be asked to perform those duties during the rehearsals and performances. This season’s show is VERY prop, costume, and makeup heavy, so students will need to be willing to explore all areas, be open minded on their assignments, and focused on the end result.... the performance.

 

Instructor: Heidi Ellis has a masters degree from Eastern Michigan University in Costume Design and Construction where she helped teach the undergraduate students while helping to build the theater productions. She worked for 11 years at the Henry Ford as a supervisor in the costume shop where she trained the new employees and made clothing.
