This crew will be chosen and managed by the PSM, and will consist of personnel who are responsible for all technical aspects of the production. The PSM will use the Technical Department roster, with the assistance of the SVCT Technical Director, to choose their crew, and update the roster with their crew’s experience at the end of the production.

Auditions are open to all and so should be advertised to the public, and should be scheduled for multiple days, depending on how many roles you are casting. Call backs can be done at your discretion. It is very important that there not be any appearance of favoritism or nepotism, so there will not be any “reserved roles”.

It is also a time to ensure proper communication is happening between the design team (designers) and the production team (Director and PSM). anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 02:38:13 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:design_run?rev=1775168987&do=revisions Design Run A Design Run is a rough full run of the show on the stage for the benefit of the designers. This should happen after Initial Hang And Focus but well before Tech Week. All designers and the Master Builder should be present. They should be looking at their area of emphasis and taking notes of any corrections/tweaks and anything that does not look/sound right. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:29:47 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:dress_week?rev=1775180696&do=revisions Dress Week This should be the final week of rehearsals. All aspects of the show will run as if it was a true performance, including costumes, make-up, SFX, pre-show and intermission. Tech Crew will be in full dress including tech crew gear (flashlight, knife, etc.). anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 01:44:56 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:initial_hang_focus?rev=1775168078&do=revisions Initial Hang And Focus This can happen as soon as the set is available to the lighting designer, but MUST be completed before Cue to Cue. The lights will be hung in the correct spot based on the Light Bar Plot and focused to the correct positions based on the Throw Plot. The lights will be linked to the appropriate dimmer pack and sliders on the board. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:14:38 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:load_in?rev=1775183414&do=revisions Load In The Load In is when the set and other items for the production are moved onto or constructed on the stage. It is expected that the set build will be mostly complete before Load In, with the exception of any elements that must be built in place and some painting. This is why the stage design needs to be completed and signed off shortly after Onboarding. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 02:30:14 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:load_out?rev=1775182547&do=revisions Load Out After the performances are concluded, it is the responsibility of the Master Builder and their crew to clear the stage in preparation for the next show. Before Load Out, the Master Builder should meet with the next production's Master Builder and PSM to see what elements of the set, if any, can be reused and to work out the schedule for the Load Out and Load In. The Master Builder will also create a load out plan with a crew and assignments ready to go. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 02:15:47 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:media_day?rev=1775169338&do=revisions Media Day A few weeks before open, the Media Day will happen. Media Day is NOT a rehearsal. This is a day that will be handed to the Marketing Manager. The Marketing Manager will use this time to take pictures, videos and interviews with the goal of creating content to share about the show online and with other outlets. People from local radio, newspaper and media outlets will be invited to attend. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:35:38 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:onboarding?rev=1775148999&do=revisions Onboarding The first rehearsal of a production is Onboarding day, where everyone should be in attendance: cast, crew, and designers.

This meeting will be run by the Producer, and should be attended by the Director, all designers, the Builders and the PSM at a minimum.

Who's in Charge? During the rehearsal process, actors will fall under the purview of the Director. The PSM will focus on behavior, capturing blocking, designer/builder/director communications and building their tech crew. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Thu, 02 Apr 2026 21:55:37 +0000 https://wiki.svcommunitytheatre.org/doku.php/activities:main_stage:start?rev=1775255443&do=revisions Main Stage Productions Here's everything you'd want to know about putting on a Main Stage production.

Once Tech Week begins, directors will “hand the reins” to their PSM, it is now their show. The PSM oversees the insertion of all technical aspects into the show and synchronizes them with actor blocking. The PSM is ultimately responsible for ensuring that this week runs smoothly and efficiently. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 01:30:23 +0000
