Hello everyone,
My name is Emily, I have been doing theater for over 4 years now and I am hooked. I love to dabble in all of the many various aspects of technical theater but most people know me as a Stage Manager. I am currently in high school and looking into colleges where I can get a BFA in technical theater or theater education. Theater is my life, I have not only worked in community theaters and in my high school but I have had the opportunity to work with professional companies such as Shakespeare In Delaware Park, which is the second largest free Shakespeare festival in the country! I love to learn, and technical theater is such an unknown "dark art" that I desire to also teach the fascinating skills of being a techie!

Hey Emilly welcome to the Control Booth! I implore you to check out the wiki and search function. What grade, are you in. I'm a sophomore so I haven't given college a ton of thought yet. It's good to have you here.

PS. I love how you used the phrase "dark art" and have never heard it in that context, I'll be quoting that for sure.
