Interested in being part of a production but not as a performer? There’s more to theatre than what the audience sees! You can enroll in THEA 0210 A or B as a stage manager or assistant stage manager (requires permission from director), or enroll in THEA 0119 A and create lighting, scenery, and props. Student shows need designers, stage managers and light and sound board operators.
Stop by the Tech Info Table in the MAC lobby outside MAC 232 during auditions or email rimmer@middlebury.edu for more information!
