    Brown University Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies Production Director and Stage Manager, Barbara Reo [email protected] (401) 863-3284 office TA3 Run Crew Information Sheet Hello and welcome to Run Crew for TAPS. Each semester, TA-3 students serve as the backstage and technical crew for one of the department’s productions that take place on one of the three stages (Stuart Theatre, Leeds Theatre and Ashamu Studio) of The Catherine Bryan Dill Center for The Performing Arts or at Rites & Reason at Churchill House. These productions include shows produced by Sock & Buskin, Senior Slot, Dance Concerts, and Rites & Reason Theatre. Everything you will need to know about serving as a member of a run crew is detailed in this information sheet. In addition, (when possible) you will have a two-hour orientation prior to the beginning of the technical rehearsal process to answer any of your questions and alleviate any of your concerns. Introduction The run crew for our shows executes all backstage action. The stage managers and assistant stage managers, with the help of our designers, our costume shop manager (Ron Cesario), our technical director (Tim Hett), and many others organize backstage activity. Specifically, they figure out how to coordinate scene changes, the movement of props on and off stage, the flying in and out of curtains, costume changes, and the movement of costumes from the dressing room to the backstage area during the performance. While the stage manager remains in the lighting booth to call the show and the assistant stage managers are on headset backstage, supervising the crew and communicating with the stage manager, the run crew (you) will be the ones actually assisting with the costume changes, moving props backstage so they are ready for the actors, executing the scene changes during blackouts or in between scenes and flying the curtains in and out as needed.
