Behind the scenes of a real show, in the heart of the action!

Backstage

Testing 1, 2, 1, 2…
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!
You enter the theatre from backstage, where the great Yakov, world-famous director, is about to hold a breathtaking technical rehearsal. Guided by Yakov and 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 comedy, tragedy or musical.
