Now there are only FOUR rehearsals to put every piece together before we welcome audiences for Opening Night this Friday. ✨

🎭 Meet the production team behind Singin’ in the Rain! ☔✨

When audiences arrive at the theatre, they see the fun onstage, but behind every performance is an enormous team of people working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen.

From administrators and managers to builders, carpenters, cutters, wardrobe teams, technicians, and more, an Orpheus production is powered by hundreds of volunteers contributing thousands of hours of work, creativity, and care. Each of the incredible team members featured here has another group of dedicated volunteers helping bring this production to life every single day.

What makes this production team especially exciting is that 7 out of these 10 team members are either brand new to Orpheus this season or are serving in their role for the very first time. 💙💛

Creating opportunities for newcomers, welcoming new voices, and helping people grow into leadership roles has always been part of what makes Orpheus special, and this team is a wonderful example of that spirit in action.

Thank you to everyone working behind the scenes to bring this show to audiences in just 6 days at Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe!
