The lights are focused on The Crucible, but the real drama is offstage. When a juicy rumor hits the high school tech crew, everything starts to unravel: friendships, trust, and the illusion that backstage is a safe zone. Cue the power struggles, passive-aggressive clipboard wars, and emotional support Nutella.
Techies is a fast-paced ensemble play about accountability, consent, and the blurred lines between truth and perception. With rich roles for teen performers, a single set, and just enough gaff tape to hold it all together, this is backstage theater with bite...and heart.
