FAQs

How do I get involved in South Stage, Newton South’s theatre company?
1. You can attend an introductory meeting in the auditorium on Monday, September 10 during J block to get info on auditions and stage crew opportunities.
2. You can check the South Stage callboard on the wall between the chorus room and auditorium for announcements and info.

What is the Frosh Play? - Like many ninth grade sports, the Frosh Play is an opportunity for freshman actors and techies to discover and hone their skills without having to compete with upperclassmen for a limited number of parts and backstage roles. It is a fun and relaxed learning environment for students of all experience and skill levels to explore high school theatre. One of our goals is to provide acting and stage crew opportunities for as many students as possible. Rather than trying to find a play that has a cast of thirty, Mr. Knoedler and others will direct a night of theatre that includes ten-minute plays and original scenes.

When are rehearsals?
In September and October, actors should be available after school 3-4 days a week until 5:15. Students interested in stage crew can be more flexible with their schedules. In November, actors will need to be available after school every day. All actors and stage crew will need to attend a mandatory Saturday tech rehearsal on November 10 from 9 AM-5 PM. Otherwise, there will be no rehearsal on non-school days. Performances will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, November 15, 16, & 17 at 7:30 PM. You must be available for every dress rehearsal and performance to be eligible for a part. We will not double cast any roles.

What about stage crew!?
The South Stage tech crews are vital to the success of our shows and are a fun way to get involved. No experience is necessary and the schedule is flexible. Freshmen are able to work with upperclassmen on other shows, too!
- Set and Props Crew Builds and paints set pieces. Gathers, builds, maintains, and keeps track of props and furniture.
- Lights and Sound Crew Hangs and focuses lights, plays music and sound effects.
- Costume Crew Finds, builds, and alters clothing, hats, and shoes.
- Make up Crew Assists actors with make up application and hair before performances. Organizes make up stock and cleans up application area.
- Running Crew Performs scene changes, costumes changes, and other backstage duties during shows. Must be available for tech day, dress rehearsals, and performances.Please email Mr. Knoedler at jeff_knoedler@newton.k12.ma.us with questions.

South Stage practices color blind and gender blind casting, except in cases where it clearly violates the script or the stated intention of the playwright.
