About In The Fringe
Techies is a world premiere pop-rock musical from Sam Carner and Derek Gregor, performed by In The Fringe at the Alba Theatre. Part comedy and part backstage drama, it centres on the theatre department of Westside High, where actors and technical theatre geeks battle for a foothold on the school's social ladder. A stage manager finds herself caught between the two factions, trying to make everyone work together whilst pursuing her set-builder crush. The show smashes the fourth wall and celebrates the search for acceptance, running for 120 minutes.
Why see this show?
A brand-new musical celebrating the underdogs of high school theatre — the techies. With a quirky pop-rock score, fourth-wall-breaking humour and a warm story about belonging and rebellion, this is a joyful world premiere for ages 8 and up.
