When attending TheatreFest, many participants observe talented
educators giving of themselves in many workshops, brilliant artists performing
on stage, knowledgeable exhibitors showing their products, and beautiful
designs from gifted designers. But did
you ever stop and notice those in the background in black?
As with many Theatrical performances, our student and
professional technicians are not noticed.
This Convention, lets change that.
If you go to a performance, or any event for that matter (exhibits,
registration, auditions, etc.) take the time to look for those workers in
black. Go up to them and give them your
thanks!
Having said that, we are in need of these talented, yet
unnoticed, technicians!! We are looking
for a group of technicians (some experience is preferred) to help with lights,
sound, running crew and technical assistance for the performance spaces. How you can help? Join us!
We have several vendors that we have contacted to sponsor these spaces,
including Brighstar/Techland, Texas Scenic, Electronic Theatre Controls and
Altman Lighting.
If you are a student technician at a local high school in
Houston, and you have a desire to assist with the performance spaces or other
events (actors welcome, as well), give Dr. Jerry Ivins, Co-Convention Director
(Operations) an email, jerry.ivins@sjcd.edu. If you are a senior or a
junior, have technical experience, and your Theatre faculty from your school is
attending TheatreFest, contact us! We
will cover your Convention fees, and you just pay membership of $20.
Speaking of performance spaces, we will have three this year
at the Hyatt. Missey Head, Co-Convention
Director (programming), assures us we have exciting performances and Special
Guests already in our lineup.
We
hope you can join us!!
