Fascinating work and lots of it characterizes what goes on behind the production of any show. From the time a play is selected and cast until the last vestiges of a colorful presentation are removed and stored in the "tombs," crews are busy handling the technical details which go into each ASUI production. Most of the work on sets, costumes, properties and makeup goes on in the seldom-seen rooms below the stage. Experience in these technical aspects is invaluable to the student and the opr;ortunity to learn is not lacking when a show is underway.
