Well as I'm both a Student and the Technical Director,
My problem is we don't have an actual Tech Theater or Drama Class, We have Drama club but that's just a single play. I was put incharge of putting together a group of students to run the place and was told we would be paid, but we've never seen pay nor does the school treat us 100% correctly. We have no budget that was given to us or our Head of the Department (Art department / Music department), So any money spent on the theater comes out of our drama budget.
Although i don't mind doing the work for free as I enjoy it and i've been given pretty much total control ( i can go in there and blast music if I so please during the day)
The sad thing is once I leave my assistant has to take over and it will probably die off. The school should have an actual class as I've had a bunch of people interested in learning this kind of stuff.
