Hi, I have been browsing Controlbooth for a while now, and it has helped tremendously in helping me find answers in perusing my career as a theater lighting designer/ board op. I have a bunch of questions I want to get off of my mind... Here it goes:
1) I already know that working in theater doesn't supply you with a great deal of money... I thought of maybe having another job on the side to help with money.
2) Do any of you guys who are in the industry have any side jobs?
3) Is it worth it to have a side job, or is it even possible?
4) Is there time available during a production to have another job?
5) What do you do when your venue is not working a production?
6) What does a general schedule look like during a production, and when there are no major productions in action at your venue?
If there is any information that could be helpful to me or anyone else who is wondering about this general topic? I'd love to hear all sides and opinions! Thank you all!
