Summer Camp Series Begins

Earlier this week I met with Megan (one of two Summer Series Producers) at the theatre to learn more of the ins and outs of the theatre since I now officially have a key to it and will be in charge of it in a way. A lot of the different groups coming to perform on our stage for the series are not company members so I have basically began (as of this week) serving as the general presence of the theatre. I run things, answer questions, help out with their shows in whatever way they need, and open/close the theatre. That is something that started this week along with the series, and will continue with each group for as long as the series continues out.

The other day I also met Michael, who although was here to help out with sound on this week's show, is getting his BFA in Acting at CalArts. He's a pretty cool guy. I also met a young guy named Danny. He is going to be interning here for about a month. Danny is also a new responsibility of mine. He was originally introduced to me as my "minion", but I will not be referring to him as such :-) He is also a pretty cool guy.

Last night I learned the basics for operating the light-board, then got the cues written in as the group went through their show, because that's what I will be doing for the shows on Friday and Saturday. This took a VERY long time, but I didn't mind because the show was very avant garde and interesting to watch.

Another thing I went over before calling it a night was general house and stage manager obligations and jobs. After that, it was time to call it a night. Tonight will be our tech-through before the show opens tomorrow.
