Our Social Media Ambassadors, Kelse and Kenna, are back with an incredible peek inside Tech Week for THE WINTER’S TALE! ✨

Tech Week is a fascinating, and intense, time as the production moves into the amphitheater and all the elements begin coming together: Lights, sound, costumes, scenery, props, and so much more. It takes an extraordinary team of talented people working in beautiful creative collaboration to transform a production into the finished magic you see onstage.
