Technical Theatre Training (T3)
Technical Theatre Training Build a career behind the scenes
T3 expands the network of craftsmen, artisans and theatre professionals who work both locally and nationally in the entertainment industry.
About the Program
Under the guidance of The Muny’s production manager and technical director, T3 students will work each spring to build and paint a set for a local professional theatre company. The scenery will be designed by the theatre company but constructed and painted by the students. Through this process, participants will identify mentors in the union and establish relationships with local theatre companies, which can hire the students for future productions.
This program provides unprecedented training and mentorship to high school students in the industry of technical theatre, helping to create a path for professional success in these fields.
How to Participate
T3 is open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The program runs on Saturdays – Dates March 7, 14, 21, 28.
