RESPONSIBILITIES​

​

  • This was a remount of the show, which originally premiered in 2025, so I utilized the one week rehearsal period to review and update archived information from the 2025 production and start learning the backstage tracks

​

  • Navigated having an abundance of props in a limited backstage space; each performance was a nonstop marathon for the crew of running dead props down to the trap room and bringing new props back up in their place

​

  • Throughout the course of the run, I was constantly updating production paperwork with detailed information about scenic transitions performed by both cast and crew, and precises locations where props needed to end up before, during, and after the show (both for our own tracking purposes and for archiving the next time the show is produced)

​

  • Operate and maintain pyro and magic effects (ex. funken ring, finger flashers, "invisible" thread, miniature foggers, etc.)
