I’m currently a senior in high school right now and am the lighting designer for stage crew at my high school. I visited UCSD and learned they have a theater program, but there is no mention anywhere about anything related to stage crew (also called technical crew/technical theater). I was wondering if there was something similar at UCSD that I could participate in as an extra curricular or something at UCSD.
Hi! There are a TON of opportunities for this kind of thing at UCSD! The Theatre Department itself has numerous shows (which each need crew & designers) a quarter. Additionally, the Music Department has a HUGE stage crew and Muir Musical, a student-run musical theatre organization, has lighting designer and stagehand positions!
