eacls itp -- tech crew learns theatre etiquette 1 Q ust like actors and actresses get a natural high after a performance, our tech crew will get the same for having accom- plished it, said Junior Theatre Crafts Student Jamie Schmidt. The stu- dents in the class made their first debut of skill at the performing arts center dedication. Theatre crafts sounds kind of like an easy class but everything in the theatre has a name and the students have to learn those names, said In- structor Cary Cox. Cox added that not only did students have to learn the names of mechanisms, but the func- tions and how they are used as well. There are very complex systems and without proper training it is im- possible to operate them, said Sophomore Joe Brodine. Students in the class said they were glad to learn a new skill. This class is very beneficial to anyone who is involved or is planning to be in- volved in theatre, noted Brodine. Students participated in puppet shows and various activities in the auditorium. Cox said students could leam aprofession from this or at least be able to communicate with profes- sional program operators. He added that a recent program brought in a professional stage crew to work with Lyman students. Even though they were professional, they could easily communicate with Jamie Schmidt on the light system, he said. The class members were expected to get substantial knowledge and a good attitude about the theatre from the class. Along with pride for the new facility comes a desire to share the beautiful building with patrons of the arts and also people who are prospects of becoming interested in the fine arts, said Brodine. Cox said the class was just what some students needed. The class has given some kids something to work at what no one else is doing, he said. This class is meeting the needs of the students. Cox added the class would likely keep students in school that might otherwise drop out. The theatre crafts class was a new elective and each of the twelve stu- dents enrolled had the chance to work in the new auditorium on a regular basis. Most students said they gained a better outlook on the arts and the theatre from the class. Brodine said, ln sharing our knowl- edge with people, we are somewhat able to provide the missing link be- tween performers and spectators. Tammy Hicks 1' as I K f F . tm H' 1 X ' .
