Tech Team Challenge 
* included in registration, winners announced at the closing ceremony Awards celebration

​The Tech Challenge is a series of events that are designed to test your knowledge of basic skills that every technician should have. The combination of team and individual events underline the principle that theatre technicians do not work alone and an ensemble that works together to accomplish the given tasks makes the production successful. In technical theatre both time and accuracy are critical to a successful outcome. As artists we demand excellence in the tasks we are given, but as technicians we also have to perform the tasks quickly and efficiently so as not to disrupt the production process.

The Tech Challenge consists of 4 events, individual and team (or pair) events. These events represent the basic skills that every technician should possess to be well-rounded theatre professionals. Technical skill training will be available through the "Tech Playland" in the morning sessions. There shall be a team score sheet carried by the teams for their results from the judges.

You will select your students who will represent your school/troupe the day of Festival. 

* All participants MUST wear closed toed shoes on the event floor.  If the judges determine a student is not wearing appropriate footwear, the student will not be allowed to compete.
