The Scottish play thing has become too annoying. It's one thing if someone wants to believe in it but there is no reason to pressure others into your nonsense. I am so tired of some people making it out to be something equivalent to religious fundamentalism.And more stage managers should know...

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-the-Moon Marigolds by Paul Zindel. Not a big cast though but made up mostly of a female cast.The Diary of Anne Frank.

I would just start with a list of things that you can think of at the top of your head, day by day realize that other things might happen as well, and with this group of people, if there is anything that you can think of that they might not get, explain it to them. And for this to be the first...

If the pillow is small enough and can't be seen from the audience, maybe it's best not to actually put it inside the drop box but up there above the stage? We had a gas mask rigged up to fall from where a drop box was but not actually inside it, it was easy to rig it up with string and to pull...

I have just started seeing more about how important SETC conferences can be. I'm wondering if it's more for people just out of college or prior or if I could get a lot out of it even though I've been out of college a few years now? I am still working my way up and I'm looking for a summer stock...

There is a book Dali wrote called the Secret Life of Salvador Dali in which it mentions how he made things for productions. I haven't read the book yet and I don't think it was a secretive thing but just something at least mentioned on the back cover of that book.

I just finished working with a high school and there was so much drama there with faculty, the administration and weird power trips with others using the auditorium space, people bothered by a new director coming in to do a musical, and a really rude maintenance department that I'm wondering how...

I have two degrees also. I'm hoping my first one with history is at least useful with theatre with my research skills at least. And having an interest in different periods which can hopefully be helpful.

I've heard so much about artsearch and when I checked it out, there were so few jobs listed that I definitely couldn't justify spending the money to be able to use their site.I've been out of college for a little over a year and it's been difficult. It didn't help that I've moved three times...

I'm reading Ionazzi's the Stagecraft Handbook and in the section talking about wood types, with lauan it says there are some negative environmental factors with it which is why some theatres are trying to find a better alternative to using it and I'm wondering why?Does anyone know what those...

Aaaaw, I want to make an awesome tech table. We are just using two fold-able tables for things at the high school I'm working with.

I second the sonotubes. I just helped with a set last week where we used those. They are easy to just tape and screw together to make them longer, they are thick enough to stay in place and just all around really convenient.

Earlier today for the play the Matchmaker I made two platforms, and helped the tech director put in the siding for an opening in the wall and reinforcing that.

A friend and I used to always joke about how "nobody puts baby leko in a corner!"

That is a really good article. And I think it's funny whenever I meet someone new and tell them I work in theatre, they automatically just think it's doing acting.
