STAFF Program:
STAFF (Sound Technical Advice for Free) is a partnership with area schools and organizations in which The Grand provides expertise and advice in the production and technical arena. The Grand's Director of Production surveys and evaluates the production needs requested and provides the schools or organizations with information on their particular needs. Assistance consists of giving them sound technical advice on equipment, and cost estimate guidelines. They can then choose to update their production department according to their needs and budget. Included in this service is advice on show productions, set design, and costumes.
