StageCraft is a community for students interested in all aspects of technical theatre, especially backstage work. As members of StageCraft, students meet once a week to learn from professional designers and technicians and get hands-on experience working on elements of SPARC productions. Practical skills include shop safety, set construction, lighting design and hanging, sound design, stage management, and much more! StageCraft members will also participate in weekly production meetings for Mainstage productions.
Throughout their time in the program, StageCraft members will put their learning into action as production crew for SPARC mainstage and classroom performances. Roles will be assigned based on an application process that considers interest, skill set, and experience. Along with the weekly meetings listed above we ask that families tentatively put the following SPARC performances in their calendars. Crew positions will be assigned throughout the year; not every member of StageCraft will work on every show. In addition to the programs listed below, other events that have crew opportunities may pop up throughout the school year.
