• IN YEAR TWO, THE TECH THEATER PROGRAM CONTINUED TO CHALLENGE THE INEQUITABLE BARRIERS TO ACCESS IN THE STAGECRAFT FIELD. AFTER A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR ONE, WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD ON THE PROGRAM FOR YEAR TWO. THE PROJECT WAS FUNDED THROUGH A CONNECTED COMMUNITIES GRANT FROM THE CENTRAL CAROLINA COMMUNITY FUND AND A GRANT FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA ARTS COMMISSION. PARTICIPANTS WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE SKILLS TO PURSUE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THEATER AND PERFORMANCE VENUES THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN A SERIES OF TECHNICAL THEATER TRAINING WORKSHOPS AND APPRENTICESHIPS EXPERIENCES. IN ADDITION TO ACCESS AND EQUITABLE OUTCOMES, WE WILL BE CREATING A CURRICULUM THAT ALIGNS WITH STATE EDUCATION STANDARDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE ALSO ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH EMPLOYABLE SKILLS AND A PORTFOLIO TO PRESENT TO FUTURE EMPLOYERS.
