At that moment, students recorded other students' voices in their tapes. The quality was not good.

In past productions, our student stage crew had to rely on text messages or running physical notes across the backstage area. With this new system, our student stage manager was able to call cues instantly, guide light and sound operators, and troubleshoot live performance surprises in real time. It elevated the stage manager's leadership role and gave our entire crew a true taste of professional theatre operations.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your gift continues to benefit our theatre program long after the final curtain call.
