Theatre Tech
Tech Crew for Shows
The EHS tech crew is a group of students that support the shows by building sets, running sound and lighting, moving set pieces, props, and other items, and creating special effects for a spectacular experience. The shows are student run, which means, it's all students in all positions of importance in the areas listed above. Sometimes there are exceptions, but students call the shows, run the sound board, light board, spotlights, moving lights, run crews backstage and help out in all aspects of the show.
