Strike - actors & crew tear down and clean directly following the run of each show, in preparation for the next show.

WorkdayWorkdays occur throughout the year after school and on Saturdays. Crew members work on preparation for productions—building sets, painting, obtaining props, etc.

Load In - The time when the stage is free to move in the production; set, lights, sound etc. This takes 10 to 14 days.

Show Shirts Shirts unique to each mainstage production.  Some Frequent Fridays will also have show shirts available.  Shirts are purchased by cast / crew involved with productions.  For mainstage shows, students need to pay for their shirts in advance, when their order is placed.
