Topic: Tech Week (aka Hell Week)

May 15 2021 • 1 hr 1 min

One of the most critical and stressful points in a theatre production is Tech Week (aka Hell Week). Learn what hell week is, and join us as we chat with a local Denver executive artistic director about his theatre, his experiences and the week known as HELL! We talked a little too long with our guest so this episode does not include our trademark “The Process” segment. Sorry! We’ll make it up to you with a dedicated “MINISODE” !

Leave us a voice message with your question and we will play it on air! https://anchor.fm/11minutestheatre

— ALESHA’S LUXURIOUS LIBATIONS RECIPE —

The Mind Eraser (1 serving)

The Mind Eraser is a fun drink that hails from the decade of so many other fun drinks: the 1980s. Combining vodka, coffee liqueur and sparkling water, it’s essentially a Black Russian with bubbles.
