Oh and I Forgot...

GUESS WHO WON BEST STAGE MANAGER  AT THE ONE ACTS FESTIVAL?

I DID !!!!!

I may not have had the time I wanted to make a kick ass scrapbook, but with what I put together it was a 7/10, the only thing that irked me was that my glue stick ran out and I had to use liquid glue and then I needed pictures of the cast and didn't get them until right before the show. But it all came together and I was very proud of myself for achieving this. I now have an award to show that I am the "best" for the 2015 One Acts Festival.

Stage Crew Thursday

Today after school is another Stage Crew meeting.

To begin, I am very grateful for everyone who attempts to help out and contribute to stage crew.

HOWEVER, there are students who come to the stage crew meetings and don't do anything, they run in the auditorium, they shout, they lounge around, and make a bigger mess that I have to clean up after them.

I do not appreciate that, I have a big job, and I want to make sure I mold these students into a great run crew for the actual play productions. 

About 30 students have passed through our 1st couple of meetings, and in actuality I only need 8 more people for run crew for Agatha Rex. It does not at all require 30 people (especially those who do nothing). I do though need help with building and painting the set, one of our advisors (Mr. Clark) is designing the set and will need all the help he can get, and of course painting is a big job as well. 

I already have an idea of who I want for my run crew because these are the people working the hardest and actually paying attention to my instruction and the advisors' instructions. 

On Tuesday when we had a stage crew meeting, it took me almost 30 minutes to get people to sign in, and I announced it 3 times, and loud enough as well. To me it's just like, if you can't follow a simple instruction like signing your name on a piece of paper, what makes me think you can follow more complex instructions when I need them to be done.

These students may think I am a bitch and whatnot for raising my voice when needed and shit, but I'm doing my job, and I just want an efficient run crew for all Drama Productions. 

So let's see how today goes....

Morning

So I was on Tumblr, just fucking around, and I type in what I want to aspire to be (a Stage Manager) and I see all this stuff that basically screams if you don't like hard work and dedication turn away now, and I'm just sitting here thinking bring it on, when I finally enter college and start studying to become a stage manager, I want that hard work, and no sleep, and dedication, and long nights...I'll be signing up for the long run. I'm only a Junior in High School and have only stage managed two high school plays, but I got the bug and I want the complexity of this job, I know I can handle it, I mean I already don't have a life~

Any stage managers around ?
