Backstage Access December 26, 2009 to January 3, 2010 (closed on January 1)
Here’s a special chance for Montréal Science Centre visitors to step behind the scenes of a real show!
Backstage
Stage techniques in action!
Behind the scenes you can test some professional stage equipment. Try out lighting effects, learn how to work a sound console, play with black light effects, handle set changes and more.
The theatre
Take the controls!
Yakov, a world-famous director, is about to hold a rehearsal. Under his guidance and that of a professional stage manager, you’ll become sound or lighting technicians, videographers, propmen and propwomen or mechanics. From behind the scenes or out in front, at the control console, you’ll direct the effects for a scene from a spy story, a tragedy or a musical.
The Auditorium
Join the pros
Meet the showbiz pros. An interactive demonstration with technical wizards who put on some performance magic for you – before your very eyes!
Our guests:
Rigging pros: December 26, 27, 28 and 29
Laser pros: December 30 and 31 and January 2 and 3
