The scenery and props
which provide the setting for any play are vital to creating the
illusion of another place or time.
Whether
you are a master carpenter, a skilled artist, or an apprentice,
there is always a place for your help. The sets are designed
by the head of the construction crew. People with all degrees
of carpentry skills put the sets together. Painters with
skills from basic wall painting to true artistic talent are then
needed to turn the wood into scenery.
Props are
the small items that turn the scenery into detailed scenes.
Prop managers need to be scavengers to find the props needed, and
good organizers to maintain and keep track of them.
Even if
you are new to building and painting, we can always find a place for
willing workers
Construction
takes place 2-3 nights a week, depending on the show, in the
basement of the State Theatre. Hours are usually 7-9pm.
The construction crew also helps with load-in the week prior to
opening night. "Load-in" refers to moving the set
from the basement of the State Theatre to the stage.
