Calling 10th & 11th grade students and families: Theatre Tech Open House is at Proctors Feb. 11

"So often, the world of performance gets defined simply by the people on stage or in front of a camera or microphone,” says Proctor’s Theatre Chief Executive Officer Philip Morris. “The reality is that behind every actor or singer or comedian are a dozen people who build things, design things, use make-up, play sound effects, use lights, design brochures, sell tickets, negotiate contracts, and administer all of that creative talent."

Students in Career & Tech’s Theatre Technology program explore what goes on behind the curtain or camera where it all happens, at Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady, where their classroom is based.

Mark your calendars now and join our Theatre Arts Tech class at Proctors, Feb. 11 from 8:30-10:30 am, 11:15 am - 1:30 pm and 6-8 pm in the evening. (Snow date Feb. 12).

Morris notes that, "The Theatre Technology class gets to see and work with this behind-the-scenes effort. [The students are] building, designing, and working with the folks who end up in front of the lights. It’s real work in an industry that goes beyond just the stage to touch media of all kinds.”
