Katie Gubler ’16
Stage Manager
“Tech is a club at St. Francis but in
actuality, Tech is a family. We are a
group of girls that help not only the Arts
Department, but the Student government and Campus Ministry.
We give light, sound, and other aspects to shows that display
other’s creativity with our own. Tech is a home and place with
comfort for everyone who joins. I always know that when I go to
Tech, I will be welcomed by loving and supporting people and
that I will have tons of fun! My high school experience would
not be the same without it.”
Katie is President of the SF Tech Club and has been a member
for three years. On her first show, “Once Upon a Mattress,”
she worked backstage on Run Crew. Katie was an Assistant
Stage Manager for her next three shows. She’s also worked
as the Lighting Assistant and Light Designer for St. Francis’
“Winterfest Dance Performance” and SF Players’ “One Acts.”
Katie looks forward to continuing her passion for technical theatre
by declaring it her major in college.

Cecilia Walsh ’17
Assistant Stage Manager
“The best part of the show was that
the Techies were so involved in the set
changes. They were able to move all the
set pieces in between scenes and sneak around on stage. I especially enjoyed building sets and learning to use new power tools.
As Assistant Stage Manager, I attended all the rehearsals and
got to see the actors truly bond as they became a company and
brought the show together.”
Cecilia is Vice-President of the SF Tech Club and has worked
three major productions and many smaller shows at SF. She enjoys
learning more about theatre each year she works on Tech and the
various skills she’s learned, such as welding and focusing lights.
“Mary Poppins” is the third show she has worked during her time
in the club. Cecilia hopes to work many more upcoming productions that are as magical as “Mary Poppins.”
