Technical Theatre at CTSMD

Actors are amazing, but techies run the show!  At CTSMD, we're proud to teach students about all of the different aspects that go into theatrical productions.  Over the past three years, students have created props and set pieces, run lighting and sound equipment, applied stage makeup and wigs, moved set pieces, and worked backstage. 

Under the supervision of experienced educators, our student tech crews will:
  • Develop their technical theatre skills.
  • Gain a working understanding of the light and sound systems.
  • Get hands-on experience creating props, set pieces, and costumes.
  • Learn from talented and experienced teaching artists.
  • Step out of their comfort zones.
  • Grow friendships, new and old.
  • Build lifelong skills.
  • Have fun!

​Interested in working behind the scenes?  Sign up for a summer intensive, apply for the Captains Program, or email [email protected] to volunteer for a mainstage production.
The Children's Theatre of Southern Maryland believes that theatre is for everyone, regardless of race, gender, ability, religion, or background. There is power in inclusion, and all of the students in our spaces deserve the chance to access theatre and to see themselves represented both onstage and backstage. CTSMD will not tolerate discrimination of any kind or situations that make our students, staff, and volunteers feel unsafe.
