    "Annie Get Your Gun" prop list

    Thats probably what I should do. I was asking out of pure laziness. This script doesn't have a prop list, so I was just hoping someone else had something easily accesible that I could start with.

    "Annie Get Your Gun" prop list

    My theatre is doing "Annie Get Your Gun," and I have been talked into pulling props. Does anyone have a completed props list on hand that they could email me? Thanks

    epic theatre fail

    I was crew chief for our community theatre's production of Peter Pan a few years ago. Our director was planning on hiring someone to come in a do the set up for the flying rig, and then leave it to my high-school crew to operate it. My crew was all excited about it and really wanted to "make...

    non-theatrical uses for theatrical items

    We all use gaff tape rolls as cup-holders, tie-line as shoelaces, and glow-tape as night-lights. What are some other innovative uses you have have found for everyday tech-theatre items?

    Crew Chief People Skills

    At our non-profit theatre, I am very often the crew chief for the larger shows. My crew is limited to first-time techs and people who didn't make it in the show and just want to hang out backstage. I have to take who I am given, I can't pick and choose and I can't kick someone out without a dang...

    Your worst theatre injury

    It really wasn't my fault!

    Ohh I hate that feeling.When something like that happens at our theatre the director comes out on stage and says "sorry, our sound guy is having a little trouble, I'll get this fixed in a minute." I know how humiliating it is.

    Wow, I feel really stupid now. . . .

    I was a secondary rigger for my theatre's last show, and somehow I was supposed to run rail and keep track of the crew and check the set after each scene change. But that's all beside the point. We were having a very rushed scene change during a tech rehearsal, and as I was flying out a drop...

    Annie Get Your Gun

    I am looking for any interesting ideas people have used for the set for Annie Get Your Gun. We're designing that set right now, and any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We are specifically having trouble with the scenes in the arena and others related to the wild west show. We're having a...

    Volunteer Techs

    So, I'm new here, as you can probably tell by the fact that I'm posting on the new member board. So, I thought I'd post a question. I am the crew cheif for the mainstage shows at my community theatre. We rent a large professional venue for two shows a year. Unlike the little theatre, we need...
