This page talks about what is needed backstage in order to have a successful production. Listed are a number of positions. Some are needed during performances, and some are needed before the performances start and after they end. All volunteers for these positions go through Lori Lord.

Set Construction: We're looking for many adults to help unload as well as construct the professional set we have rented for Peter Pan. The set is very large & will be in many pieces. Set load in will be at the Marblehead Veteran's Middle School Performing Arts Center, Saturday October 22, 11am-5pm. Once the set is unloaded, set construction will begin. Sunday October 23, will be all day set construction, 11am-5pm.

Fly Crew: we're looking for 4 adults. These people must be committed to all of tech week, all performances and any pick-up rehearsals. These people can not switch off during performances since they are being trained by a professional. Fly crew people will be flying cast members during the show. Dress code - all black.

Set Crew: we're looking for at least 12 people. Set crew people must be in high school. We'd prefer that set crew people be there for all of tech week, during all performances and any pick-up rehearsals. Set crew people will be setting up scenery & moving scenery during the show.
Dress code - all black.

Child Management: We're looking for 3 people to be available during tech week, all performances & any pick-up rehearsals. These people will help manage the children cast members backstage. This will require, making sure the children stay in their designated area & are not roaming around. As well as helping to keep the children entertained. Typically children will bring games and books. Sometimes there is a tv & vcr available for them to watch movies.You will also assist the children on making their cues to the stage & returning them to the designated area once they are done on stage. Please note that child management volunteers are needed when the children have their call, call is 2 hours prior to the performance time.

Strike: We're looking for many adults to help with strike. This is the day that the show ends & we will have to take apart all of the set & load it back into the truck to be returned. As well as removing everything that we have brought into the Performing Arts Center including furniture, props, costumes etc. Most of these items will need to be returned to the MLT Firehouse. We will also need the volunteers to help take these items to the Firehouse.

Props: We are looking for a few volunteers to assist our props designer in making & locating props needed for the show.

Costumes: We are looking for volunteers to assist with the construction of costumes..sewing, gluing etc. Costume help might also be needed during the performances to assist with any repairs that might need to be done.

Cast Party: We are looking for a cast party chief to help coordinate, place, decorations, food, etc., and help manage the list of volunteers. We are looking for volunteers to help decorate, put out food, clean up, etc.
