So my buddy is a Band teacher and his district, in their infinite wisdom decided to force the band teacher to also teach technical theater and be the TD for the high school shows. Naturally he is freaking out and realized today that he is way in over his head. I work for a Broadway house so naturally he views me as being the expert in teaching technical theater and so now I am here asking for help.
Does anyone know of any websites or literature that would help him get a grasp on things?
I am going over to his school this weekend to show him how to use the fly system light board (assuming is a normal brand) and sound board (assuming its an analog console).
From what I understand he is in charge of building the shows and teaching a tech class where they try to build the sets. He is also in charge of maintenance and all the equipment as well as teaching students use them for the shows.
This weekend I am going to show him all the safety stuff I can think of as well as help him start making rules for using the equipment.
As far as curriculum I know nothing and I haven't worked with anyone ages 14-18 in a shop ever so I am in over my head there and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
