Hey everyone,
So as I was drifting off in chemistry my mind wandered to lighting (where else would it go) and I got to thinking, there is no real manual for lighting or tech in general at my high school. Maybe I should make one. I'll preface this by saying that there are alot of things that happen in our shows which are just expected to occur (i.e. the video feed to the cast room) they don't seem to fall under anyone's job description( I happen to take care of most of them). In any event. I'm thinking of creating a handbook with tips, tricks and other things not just specific to our theatre that can be passed down from TD and LD to ATD and ALD as they graduate (for me this would be next year). My question is, probaly geared more towards the high schoolers out there but graduates that may have had one feel free to answer as well, have you ever seen something like this? Was it successful/ worth it? What should I include in it?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
