Brown Box does not expect actors to have any technical experience.

There will be two set up days during the rehearsal process where the touring technicians teach the actors how to put the set together and how to hang/set up the lighting fixtures. We suggest bringing a notebook or writing key notes on your phone, as this will help you remember once we get to tech! Memorizing your tech duties is just as important as memorizing your lines! 

  • At this point in time, lighting and sound technicians will already be familiar with their specific set up & breakdown protocols.
  • The Master Electrician is responsible for teaching actors how to hang/set up lighting fixtures
  • The Sound Engineer is responsible for teaching actors how to properly plug-in and run all necessary sound equipment
  • The Scenic Supervisor is responsible for teaching actors how to properly level platforms, build and take down the set
  • Each cast member will learn all aspects of set up and breakdown, and then be assigned a specific role. There may be days on tour where you have finished your task, and will be required to jump in to assist another member of the team.
