The Final Stretch

So I have about four weeks left of my freshman year! It has been so much fun and a wonderful learning experience. My knowledge of the theatre has grown immensely...in all areas! I must say though that I am quite ready and excited for summer. As you should know, I am working as an Assistant Stage Manager for Otterbein's Summer Theatre season. I cannot wait! I will be living on campus until mid-August, then I get about a 3 week REAL summer!

We just finished Dead Man's Cell Phone this past Saturday, now it's on to Pippin! We start our technical rehearsals tonight. Tech week is known as "Hell Week" to most people. It got that nickname due to the long, extensive rehearsals every night. The Stage Manager and the crew must prepare for the run of the show, getting used to cues, scene changes and costume changes. These next two weeks (tech and dress) will be fun, but also could be stressful. Pippin is full of a crazy amount of cues of all kinds; lights, sound, fly rail, and automation. I will be running the light board for this show! I cannot wait. I will have the stage manager in one ear, and the lighting designer in the other. I will be working on the ETC Ion consule! It will be so fun with 10 moving lights and hundreds of light cues. Well, I just thought I would give an update! Have a good day!
