Jesuit Drama Welcomes You
As we start off another season in the Black Box we are excited to welcome back familiar faces and meet those who will become a part of the Tech Crew here at Jesuit Drama.
Tech is a great opportunity to get hands-on experience behind-the-scenes. You’ll be using drills and saws to bring the set to life, climbing ladders to light it beautifully, and working to make sure every detail looks amazing.
REGISTRATION WILL OPEN FOR FALL TECH IN AUGUST
If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email us.
We hope to see you in the Black Box.
