COME DANCE THE HULA WITH Hilary Achauer and Silvia Folson . A CHANGE OF SCENERY. I think that these students are under as much pressure as the actors on stage, commented Bob Rule , director of stage- crew. The stagecrew consists of upper school students in charge of the lighting, sound, and special effects that play an important role in Chadwick productions. They are responsible for creating, building, paint- ing, and changing sets during plays. Safety is stressed while the students use t-eir creativity to design, build, and paint the sets that the audience sees on stage. Although they admit that it gets a little hectic at times, especially with three or four shows running at once, the beautiful sets and precision timed lighting are evi- dence of the stagecrew's commitment, en- thusiasm, and talent. 182 9th Grade Play!Stagecrew as ' l A PYRAMID OF POWER.
