Sound/Lighting Technicians

The sound and light people are a very important unit of any production and need to work closely with the Director and Producer of a show.

The technical crew should:

• Ensure they have the most up-to-date copy of the script available from the director. 
  
• Attend any pre-production meetings necessary; the Producer should advise this.
  
• Arrange the best time to set-up the lighting and sound before the production and arrange for any assistance needed for getting the equipment in place.
  

• Attend rehearsals as specified by Producer, Director and Musical Director to ensure completely familiarity with the script entrances, exits, music and effects. 
  
• Liaise with the Producer and Director about any particular effects required.
  
• Be responsible for the safety of all sound and lighting equipment.
  
• Liaise with the musical director or conductor if a band is used.
  
• At the end of the last show, carefully pack up all of the equipment and ensure any hired equipment is ready to go back to the hirers.
  
• Arrange for the pick-up and return of any sound and lighting equipment that is borrowed or hired equipment. 
  
• At the conclusion of a show, report any breakages, blown bulbs etc. or malfunction of equipment to a Committee member.
