Did you miss it? I understand. The wind and the snow and ice and lack of sun can be disorienting your first time. Fortunately, my job is to serve and I've got all the info you need right here.
Let's figure out how this whole theatre thing works.
First of all, welcome to Troupe if you're new and welcome back if you've been here forever! We were so excited to see a theater packed with both new and familiar faces. I, personally, cannot wait to get this season started. You

*****TECH*****
Are you interested in tech?! Power tools your forte? Really want to light that set? Have a brilliant design for that costume? Want to try it allllllll? Great! Find out how to do any and all of that and MORE at:
The TECH MEETING on FRIDAY, January 25th at 6:30PM in The Space
(directions: From the green line, take the B train to Pleasant St and walk down Harry Agganis Way toward the river. The Space is located in the alley behind Raising Cane’s and next to BUPD in West Campus. A sign that says “Stage Troupe” is above the door!)
Although you can only act in one show, the great thing about tech is that you can tech as many as you want! You are also welcome and encouraged to tech even if you get cast this season! We are always seeking more tech and looking to teach each department, so try something new (or something you’re an expert at) and sign up!
*Don’t forget, if you don’t pay your dues at auditions, you’ll need to pay at the tech meeting! $5
