These next couple of weeks, we will be catching up with our upcoming Sister Act groups: The Crew, Pit, and Cast. They will all be featured as they prepare for their opening night performance on Thursday, March 23.
This week, the Crew will be featured.
When it comes to the Crew, there is sound crew, light crew, design crew, and building crew that students participate in, depending on their interest and skill level. The entire Crew has been hard at work since last Fall to make sure that everything is ready for opening night and for the duration of Sister Act.
Here is a little interesting background regarding the Crew. In 2001, 22 years ago, the musical Grease came back. At that time, there were only four people on the Crew. Currently, there are 45 students working in the Crew for Sister Act.
So, why did students join the Crew, and what specifically is the Crew currently working on for Sister Act?
Freshman Morgan Maul: “It sounded fun, and I really like art. The plays are really cool here. I work mostly on designing the sets and stuff. I also do a little bit of building, too.”
Sophomore Anna Leigh Mulhall: “I decided to join the crew to work with people and to also get more of a point-of-view of what you do in the play. Last year, I worked on objects. This year, I work on painting and sound boards.”
Junior Julia Gill: “I joined in ninth grade because I found interest in theatrical design and wanted to keep doing it. Not only did I enjoy building but I also enjoyed the environment and the people.”
Senior Halie Beane: “I joined the crew because it was just something new to try. Somebody else was in it and was talking about how great it was. I work mostly on design and building.”
All students involved in the Crew meet everyday after school for a couple of hours in preparation for opening night. They are working really hard, and we cannot wait to see the sets and hear the quality sounds from this upcoming musical.
