Greetings from Detroit

[JJO]

Hi everyone,

I'm a theatre teacher from the Metro-Detroit area. I've been directing for about 10 years now and doing tech for about 12. At my university, I was the only female on the payroll in the scene shop, so I'm pretty proud of my abilities. That said, my skills are nowhere near where a lot of you professional guys' are, so I am looking forward to contributing where I can on this board and also to just reading and learning from others' questions.

See you around!

Welcome to CB. I spent many years in scene shops and could build most anything needed but artistic painting was where I stepped back. I can paint base coats but when you start tecturing I can watch with best. I would go help the light techs.

I'm the same way. I mean, I can texture a bit, but if there was stuff with little brushes, detail painting, etc, I ran away as fast as I could. Even with painting the big stuff, though, I made such a mess that the TD usually just told me to go build something. This, without a doubt, angered the male techs who were left painting while I got to play with the big toys.
