Tech Rehearsals
Tech rehearsals give the crew time to iron out problems with the practical parts of the show. The actors walk through their parts, but they aren’t the main focus. The goal is fine tuning the music in the theater space. The lighting cues are perfected, especially how the light interacts with the performers.
The props are placed in their show-ready positions, and the actors learn where the props are, where the props need to be at the end of the scene, how to get to wardrobe for their next scene, and other details for their show. The crew learns how much time they have to move scenery, raise and lower backdrops. These technical rehearsals give these key features a chance to correct any last-minute problems before opening night.
