Technical Crew
All members of the technical crew need to report to the Technical Director
daily. Collaborating with members of your crew is a sine qua
non, especially at the creative/planning stages. As the term progresses,
keep in daily contact with other members of your crew to ascertain what
progress you are making. Helping out with other crews and with the actors
(e.g., helping them learn lines) is also essential to the success of the
production. Finally, your assistance at rehearsals during the third week
is critical so that the cast can learn to work with the material you have
prepared.
