The magic of theatre doesn’t just happen on stage—it’s created by the artists you don’t always see. Hidden Stars is a hands-on technical theatre class that pulls back the curtain on what makes a production come to life.

Students will explore the core elements of backstage work, including sound design, lighting, set design, set construction, and props. Through practical projects and collaborative problem-solving, participants will learn how each technical area supports storytelling and performance.

Perfect for curious beginners and aspiring technicians alike, Hidden Stars builds creativity, teamwork, and real-world theatre skills—shining a spotlight on the vital roles that turn ideas into unforgettable live experiences.
