BEHIND THE SCENESThe production of a play at the 1812 Theatre involves far more people than just the actors on the stage. For example we need set builders, backstage crew, backstage management, costume making, front of house helpers, technical crew/bio box/lighting and sound technicians. All these functions are provicec by a small army of volunteers. WHY DO THEY DO IT? Whether it's a barbie in our backyard area, movie nights or other get togethers, we realise our volunteers are our lifeblood and a pretty social bunch too. If you are aged between 14 and 80 and this sounds like something that you may be interested in doing, please read on to find out what is involved behind the scenes. SET BUILDING: Experienced chippies. electicians, artists, designers are always welcome along with people who are eager to learn ad willing to get their hands a bit grubby. While the sets are being built the costumes designed and made. Working with the director this involves machine and hand sewing and fitting of outfits on the actors. BACKSTAGE: This involves the changes made to the sets on stage during the live performances. This could range from providing an empty cup to an actor at a critical time before thay go on stage to changes between acts while the lights are down. If you can tip toe in the darkness and enjoy the adrenalin rush of being involved in a live performance, without being an actor on stage, this is for you. FRONT OF HOUSE: At the end of the evening you get a chance to mingle with the actors, director,and other behind scenes volunteers. TECH CREW//BIO BOX: Whether you experienced or simply full of enthusiasm and ready to learn, thios may be for you. STILL INTERSTED RING 1812 on 9758 3964 or email admin@1812theatre.com.au
