It's almost "Tech Week" for our mainstage production of Seussical, opening Friday, February 24, 2023! Final touches are being added to the bright, whimsical set that has been carefully crafted and built over the last few weeks, the light and sound cues are being fine-tuned, costume adjustments are being made for nearly 50 actors, and so much more!
The 2 casts of Seussical have been hard at work since mid-January and their regular rehearsal period is about to transition into what is known as "Tech Week", when all of the technical elements finally come together and bring the production to life! What audiences don't see are the hard-working, creative members of the production team who have been working on perfecting their visions for months.
We'd like to give a big shout out to those who are working behind the scenes to add magic to this production that is sure to delight audience members of all ages. Audiences may never see them on stage, but their hard work and imaginations will certainly be on full display when Seussical opens next week!
