Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools Community Education Services

The mission of the middle school musical is to introduce students in the cast and crew to theatre. This includes the understanding of the process of a production and the realization that EVERY part, no matter how big or small, is essential to putting on the best performance possible!

TECH CREW REGISTRATION AND FEES

Auditions are not required for Tech Crew. Registration is limited. If working on Tech Crew (a non-performing role), the registration fee includes set supplies, royalty fees, advisor fees and a t-shirt for each student. No student will be prevented from participating because of financial needs. Scholarships are available so please contact Community Education at 952-226-0310 if you are in need of assistance. 

PRODUCTION

Annie Jr. is presented through special arrangements with Music Theatre International. All authorized performance materials are also supplied by Music Theatre International. 

TECH ROLES AND RESPONSBILITIES

There are many opportunities as part of the tech crew: props and painting, set building and painting, lights, sound, make-up, assist with costumes, etc. however, not every tech crew member will be needed backstage during the show. Those that are not on running crew during the actual show will be assisting actors and directors with make-up, costumes and ushering. It really does take all of us to make the show run smoothly! Once you have registered online you will be given a link to a google document to list your top three preferences for tech crew. 

TIME COMMITMENT

We are dedicated to providing a quality education and artistic experience to as many students as possible. Since we all have many time obligations and family commitments we are striving to give you detailed information on tech crew dates so you can make informed choices for your students and your family. We will do our best to honor the schedule we present by making as few or no changes to the schedule and by always starting and stopping on time. 

IMPORTANT DATES

Tech Crew schedule will vary, and registered students will be provided with more information at rehearsals and through Schoology.

For those that want to work on set construction, the majority of building/painting the set will be on Wednesdays and Fridays beginning early December. Props will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning November 11. Costumes/make-up will meet mostly on Thursdays beginning January 9.
