  • Technical Crew Information Performance Dates: October 20 (3 & 7 PM) October 21 (3 PM)
    Technical Crew Information Performance Dates: October 20 (3 & 7 PM) October 21 (3 PM) Thank you for your interest in being on the Tech Crew for the McDuffee Music Studio 2018 Musical Theatre Production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. There are 5 different possible Crew positions available for students in 5th – 12th grades at any school, up to 15 people max. Each crew position is vital to the success of a show and the responsibilities should be taken seriously. Sign ups are open now and will close when all the spots are filled, on a first-come, first-served basis. Being part of any production requires commitment and hard-work. I compare theater to a team-sport: EVERYONE is important and necessary. I have told the cast that Sea Urchin #3 is every bit as important as Ariel in this production. The Technical Crew is just as important as the people on the stage as well. BEFORE YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE CONSIDER ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: DATES/TIME COMMITTMENT: Please double check family, school, and extra-curricular calendars against the schedule below. You need to be at all of the above rehearsals for their full times. Crew members need to be at ALL of the following rehearsals: • 10/10 (Wed) 5 – 8 PM at Faith United Church of Christ (Faith UCC – 4040 E Thompson Rd) o 5 - 6: we will meet and discuss the positions and answer any questions o 6 – 8: we watch the run of the show so that the crew can start to become familiar with the production.

Do sociologists and anthropologists fail to write studies of the rising ‘middle classes’ out of boredom or disgust? Who is eager to research the very dangerous drug mafias all over the place? How many track the spread of Western European, Russian, and American arms of all types into SE Asia and the consequences thereof? On the other side, is timidity a part of the decay of European and American universities? Bureaucratic intervention to bind students to work on what their state think is central (Terrorism/Islam)?
