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.

Upcoming NYT Productions & Tech Crew Timelines:

NYT Jr – Winter Play

The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe

Adapted by Don Quinn

Based on the story by C.S. Lewis

Directed by Brandon Price

Ages 13-18

For each theatrical production staged by NYT/NYT Jr., we have a technical crew of teen participants who support all the needs of the show backstage, from costumes and props to lighting and scenery. If you would like to be part of the NYT tech crew, you will need to meet with the Northglenn Arts Technical Team for an interest interview. Then, if selected, you will attend a production-specific learning workshop, and participate in a designated production schedule, supporting some rehearsals and all performances of the given production.

This is a registration-based program open to youth, ages 13-18, who have a strong interest in technical theatre. The selected interviewees will be a part of the production from tech rehearsals through performances.

Technician students may be considered for either or both of the winter play productions. There will be a spot in the interview form for them to indicate which production(s) they are interested in.

Interview Dates: December 5th & 7th

Parent/Crew Meeting & Student Workshop: Saturday, January 9th, 5p-7p

Rehearsal Dates: January 9th-28th

Performance Dates: January 28th-31st

Participation Fee: $30, payable only if selected. Payment plans and needs-based scholarships are available.

Show Description (from Dramatic Publishing): That master of imaginative enchantment, C.S. Lewis, has created a unique world and he invites children to walk into it and enjoy both surprise and adventure. An old house in rural England becomes the home base for four children who wander into an incredible country through an old wardrobe and help the country return to summer. In the incredible Narnia, they make friends with the frightened forest people who have almost given up hope for the return of good King Aslan, their true ruler. When Aslan was there, it was always summer. There is a great battle to see whether this magical country will remain under a wintry spell or will, once again, know freedom and summer under good King Aslan. A charming play about courage and the love of freedom.
