SCENE SHOP VOLUNTEERS SET CONSTRUCTION These volunteers help build, cover and repair the scenery. Set construction encompasses a wide variety of construction techniques and material. Some of the materials used in scenery are wood, metal, foam, plastic and fabric. Projects in the scene shop depend on the degree of experience of the volunteer. SCENE PAINTING Whether you are an artist or not, you can learn to paint at TCTA. Many painting techniques in the theatre are easy to learn. You can learn to paint scenery to look like brick, stone, marble, plaster, stucco, foliage, wallpaper or a variety of wood grains. You can master such techniques as spattering, sponging, rag rolling and dry brushing. PROPERTIES COORDINATOR Properties, or "props", are all of the set dressings used in a production such as books, housewares and food. The properties coordinator collects or constructs props during a show's rehearsal period and attends Tech Week rehearsals to make sure all the props are ready for the performance run. STRIKE FORCE CREW These volunteers help tear down each set following the final performance of each production. Strikes take between two and four hours and involve using power tools, clearing props and funiture and tidying the backstage wings. |
