Welcome to the St. Benedict’s Prep Drama Guild blog, our organization’s first foray into the world of online communication. Through the blog we hope to share with you what most audiences never get to see or experience – the rehearsal process.

Acting vs. technician

Drama guild



Most people join Drama Guild at St. Benedict's Prep because they want to act, or be a technician. Rarely are there people who are technicians and actors. I have decided to do both because the feeling is overwhelming when you look back at what you have contributed to the show as an actor as well as a technician.  Being an actor throughout the week allows me to rehearse scenes with my cast mates. Rehearsal helps us understand what we can do to make the play better. This time is a mixture of laughter and  being serious. Meanwhile, most of my Saturday is spent working on our wonderful set. There's no telling what the day has in store for you with Ms. Pat Flynn in charge. One minute we're hanging flats, the next we're painting them. Even though being a technician on weekends takes up my free time, I've learned it's not a waste of time, because everything that's being done is helping the play become a success !
