THE TECH SHOW

It's coming...sooner than you think...it's...IT'S...

THE TECH SHOW!!!!!!

Where the techies act, the actors tech, and the audience stays the same!!! Come watch your trusted run crews, Stage Managers, TDs, sound designers (etc) perform a beloved classic. On the flip side, watch your 'dramatic' friends attempt to turn on a light board. (cue the apocalypse)Either way the night is sure to be amusing!

The show is a secret...but what we can tell you is that it is based on a movie WE ALL KNOW, AND ALL LOVE. So be excited!

The performances will be held:
Friday, February 17th at 8pm and MIDNIGHT
Saturday, February 18th at 8pm

The best part about tech show (besides seeing all of your friends onstage) is that it's FREE!!! So there is NO EXCUSE not to come.

So don't spend $13 on a 3D movie and another $7 on popcorn. Watch a LIVE MOVIE FOR FREE with all of your friends!

SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!

FREIBERG-FREE-FOR-ALL!!!!!

Looking for something to do this weekend, but you aren't sure what??? Then come to the Freiberg-Free-For-All!!!! This is a super awesome event where we celebrate our lovely TA Danielle Freiberg, and we help raise money for our charity show, 'columbinus!'

There will be cake contests, trivia, skits and more!! Admission is ONLY $5, and when you get there you'll receive five Stage Troupe dollars to enter raffles for REALLY AMAZING PRIZES and to bid on.....pie-ing the E-Board (AHHH!!!)We'll also get a super special sneak peek of 'columbinus!!' (Performances will be held March 1st-3rd at 8pm in the Student Theater)

All proceeds from our charity show will go to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network or (GLSEN). Here's a little more info...

"The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

We believe that such an atmosphere engenders a positive sense of self, which is the basis of educational achievement and personal growth. Since homophobia and heterosexism undermine a healthy school climate, we work to educate teachers, students and the public at large about the damaging effects these forces have on youth and adults alike. We recognize that forces such as racism and sexism have similarly adverse impacts on communities and we support schools in seeking to redress all such inequities."

SO COME OUT!!! It's going to be so much fun and all proceeds go to a wonderful cause. If you still want enter the cake-baking contest, feel free to email stage@bu.edu!!

THE FREIBERG-FREE-FOR-ALL WILL BE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH AT 8PM IN THE STUDENT THEATER!!!!!

Workshops!!!

Everyone's tech assignments have been posted, and now it's that time to get a little
extra hands on experience!! Are you in a position you know nothing about? Do you always
hang lights, but want to learn a little more about another department?? Here's your
chance! Here's a message from our Technical Advisor Danielle Freiberg with more info....

Hey guys so we will be doing workshops this week starting Saturday! The schedule is
below. This year we are doing something a little different, not only will all the
workshops be going through the basic steps and some tips of how to do that department,
but we are going to go a little more in depth about how to conceptualize designs and
access that planning side of you and the creative side. As prep for all the workshops
please read the play 'Zoo Story'. I have digital copies of it so just email that you will
be participating in a workshop and I will send it to you (dsfreiberg@gmail.com). It is
very short and a great play. We will be using that as a working piece to give you some
structure on how to go about designing.

Set Design: 5:30-7:30 Saturday 2/4 in the Space
Stage Management: Tuesday 9pm in the Space (this one can be moved if many cannot make it)
Sound: TBA
Lights: Thursday 2/9 6-8pm in the student theater
Props: Friday 2/10 6pm in the Space
Set Decoration: Monday 2/13 5:30-8pm in the space

Stage Troupe's motto is "learning by doing" so come out and get a feel for these great
tech departments. NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.

All the tech, all the learning, all the EXCITEMENT!!!

***NOTE FROM THE DIRECTORS***
We would like everyone called back to sing a few bars of any song of your choice. There are a few moments of singing in Speech & Debate, but there is no requirement that the characters be good singers. Don’t worry about this at all, don’t even feel like you need to practice, we just want to hear how you would sing in the shower/car/mirror with a hairbrush microphone.
