After spending the week behind the stage, participants will have an opportunity to choose a performance night and shadow in the tech booth to get a feel for how all the tech elements come together to transport audiences to another place and time.  Participants will receive four comp tickets to see the current production on the outdoor Theatre in the Park stage.
