The Tech Table

Welcome to the The Tech Table

The Tech Table provides comprehensive information regarding professionals working on Broadway, Off-Broadway, the Road, regional theater, opera, and beyond. Our focus is on the Creative and Production talent including Designers, Associates, Assistants, Stage Managers, and the Shops.

Please help spread the news and share The Tech Table with your friends and colleagues!

Did They Notice?

Critics review the show, but how often do they mention the design?

Did They Notice? is The Tech Table's new review tracker for the 2026–2027 season. For every Broadway and Off Broadway opening, we read the reviews from more than 90 critics at 26 publications, including The New York Times, Variety and Vulture, and pull every line written about the scenery, costumes, lighting, sound, projections, wigs and hair, and illusions.

Each quote is exact, credited to the designer, and linked to the original review. Look up a show, a designer, a discipline, a publication, a critic or a venue to see who is getting noticed, which outlets pay attention to design, and what was said about your own work. Nearly 100 productions are in so far, with more added as shows open. It is available only to Tech Table subscribers.
