I just found out that I have been hired back at a theatre I worked at a couple times before. Last year they'd call me because I had the experience working backstage and didn't have another job. This year they hired me full time for the whole season based on last year. I want to make a good impression to the new staff as well as get on the good side of the stage manager that I've worked under before. I want to make a good impression. Already I have decided that I'm going to try and be a little early for all of my calls so she doesn't have to worry about calling me (which was what she did last year because it was always late notice that I was working, she would call me 15 mins before call) and she'll see that I'm responsible for the job. What other advice as stage managers would you suggest?
I also have made sure that I have a working maglite, a pair of gloves and a gerber. I'm just working backstage moving sets/props and tending to the actors; I'm just a basic backstage run crew member. Is there anything that you'd suggest I carry on my person?
I just want to take the step from being a last minute call to being a "real" crew person. I don't want them to regret hiring me full time. Any advice you guys can give me I'd love.
I am reading through older posts, but sometimes its nice just to get an opinion towards me and not someone elses problems.
Thanks!
