A look backstage

This is one of our prop boxes for Becky Shaw- In it, we keep various things that the actors and the crew need.
The world backstage is completely different from the audience sees on stage. Costume changes, small problems, actors and crew waiting in the wings to enter, 1000 things go on backstage.... It's truly the show behind the show.

Snow in September

Here at ECC theatre, we are always trying new technical things. We're very lucky to have an administration that supports experimentation and allows us the freedom and budget to try out new elements for our stage. This past Friday, we tried something that's never been seen before. We made it snow indoors. Every year, the music, theater and art departments come together for a Christmas celebration. The end of the celebration always includes a group sing-along, which usually culminates in a snowstorm of white confetti. This year, we're experimenting with trying something different. As you can see in this picture, our experiment was a success!
