Technical Rehearsals

Running Through a Technical Rehearsal

A technical rehearsal is the first rehearsal where all of the technical elements are used together. It is usually the first time that all backstage elements are used in conjunction with one another, namely lighting and sound, but all props, costume and set pieces will also need to be complete and ready for action.

Before the tech rehearsal takes place, the rest of the cast will be walked around the auditorium and stage in order for the Stage Manager to point out any fire doors, hazards, such as trapdoors, wires and trucks, and any backstage areas that may be relevant to the actors, like common rooms, changing rooms, and bathrooms.
