Understanding the PGT Design/Tech Schedule... in 4 Easy Steps

1.When we receive your registration form, we email you some paperwork, including the Conflict Form. You fill in all of your child’s activities - soccer, dance class, etc. as well as weekends away, etc. Basically, your entire family calendar for the entire season.

2.Design/Tech students are then assigned a D/T section (weekly day and time), based on their availability, and the MainStage rehearsal schedule.

3.D/T students follow their weekly schedule throughout the season. If they are going to miss a session, they may have the opportunity to make the day up on one of the other D/T days.

4.Each D/T student has the opportunity to tech one or more MainStage show - working lights, sound, wardrobe and/or running crew through Tech Week and Performances. This optional part of the program is as exciting as it is time intensive. Tech Week and Performances are serious commitments - it is intense and tiring but exciting and wonderful as we add all of our tech and design elements to our productions...and the most wonderful bonds of friendship are formed! Tech Week includes a long Sunday rehearsal, and rehearsal every evening during the that week, Mon - Thurs. These dates are set at the beginning of the season, so you can plan well in advance.
