Oh yes i could go on forever. I am a assistant lighting designer for my High School, ABRHS. And i am also the lighting designer for a theatre group in my town. Also I have stage managed. Well one of my best experiences was pulling off the job from hell. I was working a job called Chinese School, because the theatre rents out its space and i get payed to do tech for these people. I happened to be stage managing. It comes time for the show and there are all these Asian people around me backstage. The best part is that this whole group never rehearsed their talent show on a stage before or together. So i am getting orders backstage from 5 different people what to do. I had to be on headset and tell the booth what they want for lighting, sound, and everything else. So it was hell. Two people would tell me to open the curtain, while when i get it half open the tell me to close it. It was a failure, but i got some good money. I learned from this to naver take that job again in the furure, and to have a great respect for those stage managers. Want any more i have lots.
