    Description

    This is the perfect opportunity to learn and experience what happens behind the scenes of a theatrical production. Crew members are responsible for any sound or special effects needed from backstage and for changing the set during scene breaks and at intermission. Crew members may also be called on to use the fly system to change scenery that is flown in from the ceiling. In addition, the shift crew is used to set furniture and large props both backstage and onstage before and during performances.
