Playwright Co

The intensive final week of rehearsals before a show opens, during which all technical elements—lighting, sound, set changes, costumes, props—are integrated with the performance for the first time. Tech week typically includes cue-to-cues, dry tech, wet tech, dress rehearsals, and previews. It's notoriously demanding, often involving very long days for everyone involved. Theatre people sometimes call it "hell week."
