Cast

Being in the cast means working together to tell a story on stage. Every role matters—whether you have a featured part or are in the ensemble—and each performer helps bring the show to life.

Cast members are expected to come to rehearsals prepared, ready to learn, and willing to support one another. This includes learning lines, music, choreography, and blocking, listening to direction, and contributing to a positive and respectful rehearsal environment.

Being in the cast also means showing responsibility, teamwork, and pride in the Lakeside Theater Program. Through dedication and collaboration, students grow as performers while building confidence, discipline, and lasting friendships.

Crew

Being part of the crew means working behind the scenes to help bring the show to life. Crew members play a critical role in every production, supporting what happens onstage through technical work, organization, and teamwork.

Crew members are expected to attend rehearsals and work calls prepared, focused, and ready to learn. This may include building sets, running lights or sound, managing props, helping with costumes, or assisting backstage during performances. Crew members take direction, problem-solve, and support the cast and fellow crew members in a safe and respectful environment.

Being on the crew means showing responsibility, reliability, and pride in the Lakeside Theater Program. Through hands-on experience and collaboration, students develop technical skills, leadership, and confidence while contributing to the success of the entire production.
