Have you ever been interested in being a part of Masquers, but don’t want to be ON stage? We are looking for students to help backstage. We especially need deck crew. Our deck crew will be moving items on and off stage to create the illusion of different locations. To do this they will change scenes by moving set pieces and flying items in and out of the scene. We also need a few people to help with other areas like mic crew to help our actors be heard. If you are interested in any area of backstage work, please come to our Masquers Tech meeting after school on Fridays on stage in the Auditorium or contact us at masquers@ortn.edu.

This scholarship is available for all grade levels.For more information on the study abroad scholarship opportunity, please fill out the contact form at StudyAbroadScholarships.org.
