so i'm looking at the local directory on iatse's site, and i have to ask, what the fudge do the "local type" letter designations mean? there's no key on the site. i've already done some work with the 311, 14 (i think that's albany) and whoever covers meadowlands. but i want to join a local...

Hey all. I just transferred to SUNY New Paltz. I just wanted to get some opinions from here about my new school (I would have asked when I was applying, if I had the interwebs then). So what have you heard/encountered concerning SUNY New Paltz?

how is the theatre job market anyhow? i figure there will always be a job somewhere, people love to be entertained.

i've got a good one: the main theater at my former college, The MacConnell, is only about 6 years old. literally the whole thing, ground up, is 6. we've got good lights, good equipment, but the building is awful. when it was 4 years old, i first noticed the gigantic crack on the hallway-side...

just out of curiosity, does anyone here know if Candace Brightman has her own company? i have a connection that worked with her, and i'm just ballsy enough to ask him if he'd give me a recommendation. i don't mean to sounds conceited or anything like that by asking this, it really is pure curiosity.

the attraction to LA is based on the fact that i have a very good friend and former college room mate that lives there, and she has agreed to once again live with me (we figure that if the two of us could handle living in a tiny college room together we'll be even happier with a whole...

haha, i was being facetious, i know touring LDs do what they want, it's why i wanna be one! as for irksome crews, idk about the ones i wasn't on, but i like to think that i reduce the irking factor of the crews i am on. i'm typically the one that does stuff that the roadies ask for even when it...

if this is such a no-no, then why does every touring lighting designer/director i've ever known or seen usually have a beer glued to his/her hand by the beginning of the second set?

oh dear god...my fear of electrocution gets worse every time i look at the pics you find len...:shock:

i'll be *finally* getting my BA in May 2011, and i'm hoping to move to LA or Southern California (i hate cold, and i already lived in Florida and hated it, plus LA is an entertainment Mecca). and i'm wondering if i could get the names of some companies in SoCal, particularly the LA Area, so that...

so...here's the story: due to personal reason i'm leaving school this semester and i am going to start working. i hope to have some sort of job at least lined up, if not beginning, in the next 3 weeks. i want to be a lighting tech on a concert tour. i will take any job related to lighting (ie...

best blow out i've seen: entire envelope is charred black, but not all one shade, and they sort of swirl. and towards the top, one perfect dome. there appears to be no break in the envelope. we suspect that the lamp was so hot that it couldn't cool fast enough to cause a break in the glass...

dear god! that story sent chills down my spine. that man is seriously lucky that he's okay. runaways, in my opinion, are the scariest kind of theatre accidents.

keep in mind that there are a zillion ways to do things, and if they're all safe, none of them are wrong. my TD explained to our stagecraft II class this year that the decision to use one method over another is usually for a number of reasons (way the facility/equipment works, TD has used most...

good job! i might actually transfer to a college in NY. my main professor has decided to resign and work a this company he has always wanted to work for. so if there's not a good enough replacement, good bye Bard College At Simon's Rock, good bye lovely little corner of MA...
