That’s an excellent idea! Definitely a career video is in the books for the future. It’s a really important topic that I think could get a lot more students, parents, and administration looking at technical theatre more seriously!
hello! i really want to join Technical Theatre for my sophomore year of highschool, (i unfortunately didn’t join freshman year) but i just really want to be involved in the technical theatre space, as i love musical theatre!! (i have too much anxiety for onstage acting haha). Just a question, do i have to choose the area of specialty in tech before the next school year starts, or do you just choose once the year starts, and you’re in class? A fear of mine right now, is that i’ll get locked into a specialty in tech that i eventually turn out to not like😅 thank you for this video!
Great question! It depends on your program/class, but generally you absolutely don’t have to choose before starting. In fact, you’ll hopefully be encouraged to try a little of everything as you go! Some people never specialize at all, but odds are you’ll find one or two areas that you like more or are particularly good at and then run with those. Some people who are particularly good at an area might find that they’re encouraged to stay in that area, but if you want to try something else, be assertive about wanting to explore and learn other things!
My pleasure! More full length videos coming down the line, but in the meantime, feel free to check out simplestagecraft on TikTok for daily technical theatre bell ringers!
I teach middle school theatre, and my 8th graders get a crash course intro into technical theatre! This is fantastic!
Perfect! So glad you’ll be able to use it!
Great video for my High school beginner theater students! Thank you for making this :)
Such a great video for my tech 1 students! Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video. By any chance could you create a video about the different careers available for each of these categories?
