Ok, So here's what I do inside and outside of school,
Concerts:
SM- Honestly there is not a title that I know of for the things I do for concerts. The ones in my area typically contain quite a few bands, most recently a benefit with 9 bands. For these I typically function as a PSM, because a normal "
theatre" SM is just not needed. I
call the show, manage/direct the technicians, and oversee the loading/unloading processes of each band.
LD- I function as an LD always does, I design the lights for the overall show, and individualize the lights for each band.
County-
I function as the "go-to" guy for all county events. They hire me (yes, for pay) to come out and manage events. Often they hire me as the LD for these same events. Can't really describe these, really follows the same as concerts. I am also hired out as the LD/ME for two middle schools. Which surprisingly have better lights than the HS. One of which is the only in the county with intelligent moving lighting. Oh, and I am the only person in the county experienced on intelligent lighting. Through experience working with local clubs and convention halls.
School-
SM- At school I oversee all of the rehearsals, basically I do everything that is in my teacher's job description. She does almost nothing in her job description. It sounds like i'm exaggerating, but trust me, I'm not. I manage all of the money that goes in and out of our program, and keep up with the accounts. I approve all of the designs for the publicity. I manage everything that comes in, forms, paperwork, bios,
etc. from the actors. I am the contact to all of our sponsors. I make and take all of the phone calls. I sit through every single rehearsal and fill out rehearsal reports. I oversee everything that occurs during said rehearsals, on
stage and off. I
call every single person that is over 2 minutes late to a rehearsal, however most of them text me if they are going to even be a minute late. Do I need to explain more? If there is something that you feel like I might be doing and I didn't list, ask me, I probably do.
LD- Well, I design everything, place the orders for the equipment that we don't have but need for designs. I upkeep all of the equipment, place orders for lamps. Inventory EVERYTHING. I train everybody that wants to have anything to do with even touching a light. I am also the board op, for everything that occurs in the
theatre, during and after school. I also design everything that occurs during and after school. I make all of the plots.
