So pretty much my life has been a crazy, insane, blur this past month and I haven't had a chance to blog, facebook, e-mail, or really even talk to my family. So now that I have a semi-life until 6:00 tonight, here's the low down.
Here at Casper College we are doing the production of Peter Pan, an awesome family show and great for the cast and crew, if you get along well with kids. This production is a show that needs alot of, props, costumes, flysystems, lights, sound FX, and crew members to run all of these lovely elements of theatre. So if you know anything about Casper College, you will realize that here in the theatre department they don't plan things out very well, nor communicate. So when they decided to have Peter Pan as their Summer show they realized just before tech week, that they didn't have enough crew members, so we have been juggling jobs, desperately calling people, and well I think you get the picture. So this is all of my jobs right now: Grip (Person who moves the set), Prop run(I make sure props are where they are supposed to be and find them after actors don't put them away), fly crew, backstage manager for the last scene, window opener for the last scene, and possibly an usher. Let's just say that the last two scenes I'm running from one side of the stage to the other about six times. I've also acquired the talent of being able to jump over little kids, skip five stairs, and I'm not so out of shape any more. :)
The theatre is my gym, I lift the youngest boy, who weighs nothing, help lift the girl who plays Wendy, weighing 150, and I bring in the three ten pound sand bags. Let's just say I've had to tighten my belt YAY!
A bunch of us want to start a techie t-shirt company and have one of the shirts say, "The theatre is my gym, I lift about three actors" (This phrase belongs to Bryce Ledbetter, Lance Robinson, and Kristen Criman, Please don't steal it)
Some might think my life is not exciting, but I'm having a blast! The kids are awesome, our Stage Manager/ Props Designer is amazing, although she gets super stressed, and I really think this show will be well worth it in the end!
Sorry I know this is kinda lame, but it's more for me to remember what to put in my resume :)
LOVE Y'ALL!
oh my goodness I've been in Wyoming way too long!
