During the 24 hour play we ditched all of the rules. Pizza in the auditoriumm.... soda in the boooooth...

My lighting design teacher from last term gave us some food for thought. He theorized this: In past times of economic strain such as this one, the world has turned to the arts to give them hope and comfort.My father works in the film and TV industry as crew, and he does fine and has always...

We paint and repaint our floor a couple times a year with Miller "tough tread" which is a flat black floor paint, as some of our scenic requires painting directly onto it. Not sure what the floor itself is made of. Our proscenium/balcony rail/etc is a light shiny wood, which is sort of...

I'd go for fingerless but I need full heat protection. I've tried on mechanix and I love them, but no one carries the small sizes. I'll check out an autoparts store though.

I have small hands, and I'm having the hardest time finding gloves suitable for rigging/lighting work that actually fit me. I've been to both home depot and lowes, and I swim in any gloves that are suitable and the ones that do fit wouldn't help me at all.Anyone have any advice? I was...

Wholesale small sizes of snack foods like chips/twinkies/cookies. We don't allow food in the auditorium so you have to eat it before or during intermission. Coffee with sugar and cream in small cups. Soda cans, and bottled water. Buy nonperishables so they can stick around for a few shows...

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at Portland Community College.I drafted/built the haphazard fence to the left. The one with Graffiti. That was fun - especially hte part where we ripped apart shipping palettes to get the boards.I'm the shorty to the right (stage left) of the girl in the...

I'm probably going to regret this, but I signed myself up for a 24 hour play which starts at 10pm tonight. Oh, the joys of student productions. They had me down as sound designer/engineer until I said for the fourth time "Uh, guys, I have no idea how to run sound." and it wasn't like we had...

Depending on the time of the day, a simple wash could do it if you get in a pinch - hell, I've seen that production run with no tech at all.

I just walked in and asked how I could get involved. Signed up for an indapendent hours course and started painting sets. Jump in but watch how it works for a while. Listen to what people have to say, and pay attention to the dynamics of the crew and the procedures that the staff use...

Pssh, you don't get to see me as a moderator. I tend to forget a topic is locked and hijack it when no one can defend themselves.Term finished for me yesterday. My brain is absolutely fried.

We just got our new season and fall term the mainstage production is going to be War of the Worlds - the radio show and the public reaction. Complete with radio voices and foley sound effects. Very tech heavy. I am, needless to say, very excited.You'd know my dad if you saw him. He looks...

PCC Theatre Arts Productions Is the website but is a very poor one. I'm at Sylvania which has a mainstage and a student blackbox. The mainstage was built within the last 15 years. There are some annoying things about it like there are with most theaters, but all in all it's a very...

Me: Name is Molly. Student at a community college with a shockingly nice theater arts program. Way too young for college anyway. I'm about to turn 16. Crazily new at tech. 6 months of real-intense-swimming in the deep end sort of experience. Have picked it up quite quickly. My...
