I was there an hour ago. January is the slow time of the season. Doing lots of cleaning/throwing stuff out. Music festivals coming up in a couple of weeks.
Last time you were in the theater...

We did that. It ended up being my favorite show I've ever worked on-- the set was awesome. Revolving/sliding wasn't fun to build, but looked really, really cool once it was in place.

We did a production of "Clue" (the musical) and did the same thing. Things were fine until they decided they wanted the actors to enter on the revolves along with the set pieces.... (!ZOMG! the turntable broke!)
Well... I ran our projector and sound stuff so my English class could watch a production of The Glass Menagerie. As soon as that was up and running, I wondered why the head sound tech gelled our booth lights red since they're normally blue and now much brighter. Then I took a nap next to the Sound Rack.
After that was done, I took some pictures of the theatre to include in my senior project since nobody will understand any of my technical jargon. Bleh.

Right now! I'm in intermission waiting for the Alberta Country Legends concert to resume. Have you ever done a show that you don't need to do anything for? I think i changed the lights 4 times in the first half... I'll see how many I need to do in the second. lol.
Been there, done that, speakers coming in to talk about stuff in schools is best.
Oh so true, so true. Especially since I'm the one who gets to miss class to turn the lights on then sleep the rest of the period. But I would never admit to the teachers & administrators.
I have a deal that if the Speaker's getting paid for being there, so do IOh so true, so true. Especially since I'm the one who gets to miss class to turn the lights on then sleep the rest of the period. But I would never admit to the teachers & administrators.
Although it usually takes a couple weeks of reminding the admin to pay the poor tech, it happens.
So, I get to skip class, catch up on homework or web design from my laptop on the school network(Remote desktop to my computer), and get paid for it too

You just gave me a glimpse of heaven... ok, so I'm not big on web design, but I'm all for doing tech stuff to miss class, even if it isn't much, let alone getting paid for it.
A really tough day today.
I have removed the cover from the Steinway Grand Piano and turned on the stage lights.
Next, I have a tour to give to the local Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
Then, I have a meeting with the local symphony orchestra reps for their upcoming concert on the 21st.
Sometimes, life is just too easy.

I asked on Friday, and turns out I can't legally be paid for teching on school hours, it's a conflict of interests pulling me out of an education to tech >.<
Still gets me out of classes and gives me time to web design though

I've gotten paid several times for getting out of class. Makes my mom mad as hell, but the school really doesn't give us too much flak. Most of the gigs I work during the school day are school board meetings and a few things with the mayor of Ashland.
How ironic...
