NYT Technical Crew Experience
The Northglenn Youth Theatre (NYT) has been providing young people the opportunity to perform in professional live theatrical shows since 1994. Each year, NYT mounts six productions performed at the Parsons Theatre – three for NYT (12-18 year old performers) and three for NYT Jr. (8-12 year old performers). NYT has received numerous local and national awards, and since its inception had over 1000 participants.
If you love theatre but prefer to work behind the scenes, the NYT Tech Crew may be a great opportunity for you!
Each Northglenn Youth Theatre production requires a Technical Crew to perform. This is a registration-based program that allows youth participants ages 13 to 18 the opportunity to work with professionals in a hands-on environment. Participants learn some of the equipment and techniques used in the professional theatre world, giving them a complete backstage production experience.
The NYT Academy Intro to Tech Theatre Class is recommended to join an NYT3 Production Technical Crew, but not required.
