During tech rehearsals, which elements are integrated to ensure timing and functionality?

• A. The actors' lines and blocking only
• B. Props safety checks
• C. All technical elements of the play are integrated and made sure to be timed well and functioning properly
• D. The script is rewritten

Answer: (C)

Tech rehearsals are about syncing every technical component with the performers’ actions so the show moves on cue and everything works smoothly. When all technical elements—lighting, sound, video or projections, set changes, props handling, automation, and any special effects—are tested together, you can confirm that cues fire at the right moments and transitions happen cleanly. This integrated approach lets you troubleshoot timing issues between actors and tech, adjust delays, and ensure systems interact correctly in real time. If you focus only on actors’ lines and blocking, you miss how the tech actually supports those moments; safety checks or rewriting the script don’t address the synchronized functioning of all departments. So the best choice is the one that emphasizes integrating every technical element to be timed well and functioning properly.
