Technical Evolution and Stagecraft
As the theatre matured, it invested in technical improvements to enhance the quality of its productions. Upgraded lighting, sound systems, and stage equipment allowed for more sophisticated performances and greater artistic expression.
Technical training also became an important part of the theatre’s educational mission. Volunteers and students learned essential skills in stagecraft, costume design, and production management. This technical expertise not only improved the quality of performances but also provided valuable experience for those seeking careers in the performing arts.
