Hey everyone,
I'm really glad to find this site, and hope to learn a lot here. The thing is, I USED to be active in tech theater - basically the only one interested in my entire school, so I got to do everything. But I was never totally sure, because the director was so relieved to have one person interested that she left so much up to me. I was constantly on the phone with people at the lighting warehouse (did I mention my school had no equipment, and no budget either :roll: ). Somehow I never blew anything up.
BUT now I am in a foreign country, and I don't know the ins and outs of things, I don't know where the theaters are, and I don't know how to say anything that has to do with theater in this language!
So, what do I do? I feel like my tech life is on hold, which is why I am so glad to find this site - maybe I can keep learning, without doing actual theater, until I get back to the US.
So that's me.
And a quick question: has anyone else tried to get math and physics credits for tech work? Lights, sound, making costumes and sets. That is serious math right there! My school didn't buy it, though. Oh, well.
