## Caption

For our Tuesday Top 10 on “Tuck Everlasting” this week, we thought we would try something different than most of our previous mactheatremfaa photo essays. Instead of focusing solely on the performances which start with opening night in the MAC a week from tomorrow, we thought we’d document the process of getting a show ready to open. This photo and caption is one of the 17 you will find in our weekly photo essay. You can access it at macshieldonline.com or by clicking the link in our bio.

THE TALENT BEHIND THE SCENES: Sophomore performance theater major Dahlia Carroll helps to  build the set for Tuck Everlasting before opening night next Thursday. This is Carroll’s second time as part of the crew for a production. She explains that despite being more behind the scenes, the crew is an integral part of the large, musical productions.

“Without the crew, the show wouldn’t be a musical,” Carroll said. “It takes hard-working people to build the sets, but also to play the music and make sure the actors can be seen using lighting. Every crew adds to the immersion of the show.”

Carroll said the scenery for Tuck Everlasting is especially detailed, and therefore requires much collaboration within the crew.

“The indoor scenery for the houses all are able to come in and out and have many props on them that make them feel real,” Carroll said. “That also means the scenic and props crew have to work with each other a lot.”

Carroll said she is excited to see the finished product of the crew and the actors’ hard work on opening night.

“I’m excited to see how everything fits together in the end when the show opens, and especially to see everyone in full costume,” Carroll said.
