About This Event
THE SHOW CAN'T START WITHOUT YOU.
Light the Stage. Run the Sound. Make the Magic.
The actors are frozen in the dark. The audience is holding its breath. Nothing happens until someone — at a board, in the shadows — presses GO.
This workshop puts you in that seat.
In four hours, you'll go from "I've never touched this stuff" to running light and sound cues on a real stage. You'll paint a sunrise with a fader. You'll drop a thunderclap at the exact right second. You'll feel the small, electric thrill of a stage manager whispering "Standby... GO" — and knowing the next moment belongs to you.
No experience. No jargon. No pressure. Just real equipment, a live scene to cue, and people who'll teach you the way they wish someone had taught them.
And here's the real invitation: Leela's next production needs a crew. Learn today, and by fall you could be the one making the magic behind an actual show — opening night, headset on, house lights down.
