What We Do

Putting on a Westmont production is, well… quite a production!  During a normal school year, these are some of the activities where TABS helps.

​

  • Sewing costumes (from putting on buttons to following a pattern)

  • Publicity – asking our friendly local businesses to display posters and flyers

  • Assisting at the Box Office

  • Concessions for performances – donating items; coordinating volunteers

  • Tech Week meals – donating food and drinks; coordinating meals for our crew and cast

  • Supervising students (the technical theatre students may need to work the odd evening when performers aren’t on stage)

​

In addition to helping with Westmont productions, TABS also helps with many other department activities.  These often include:

​

  • Driving / chaperoning field trips

  • Providing scholarships for students to attend events

  • Fundraising

  • Purchasing equipment for the theatre department
