join the crew
Think theatre is just about what happens onstage?
Think again.
Every incredible production needs a skilled technical crew to bring the magic to life. At SYT, students in grades 7-12 power our productions from behind the scenes—and no previous experience is required!
Crew Positions Include:
Props
Fly Rails
Sound
Microphones
Lighting
Spotlights
If you love theatre but performing isn't your thing, or if you want to see how a show comes together from a completely different perspective, crewing is your gateway to the technical side of theatre. You'll gain real skills, work with professional equipment, and be an essential part of the team that makes the show happen.
