About the program

Graduating Senior students with expertise in carpentry, wardrobe, electrics, audio, lighting, and management are invited to apply for the Technical Theater Career Pathway with a submission of required materials including: resume, supporting documentation of work in their discipline, and short answer questions. An interview and director references will be requested.

Upon selection as a finalist, technicians will be assigned to professional mentors and work closely on the creation of Spotlight Showcase and surrounding pre/post show events. Their organization, innovation, and collaboration in the rehearsal process will determine the TWO winners of the Technical Theater Career Pathway – an all-expenses paid trip to New York, where students observe, meet, and train alongside top technical theater professionals.

*Travel to the Technical Theater Career Pathway will take place in 2022 or 2023 due to COVID-19.
