Interpretive

I showed up to every rehearsal, normally 3 days a week, and did managerial duties, such as maintaining the bible, taking notes, gathering props, and running shows and rehearsals. I was also very involved with the design of the lighting, which took several un-logged hours, and helped to build the new stage required for the play, staying until 10 pm on a couple of nights.

Applied

Being that my topic is Stage Managing, the best way to learn is through experience, and going through the pressures of an actual show. If I ever slipped up, having a teacher who was trained specifically for theatre was very beneficial for the fact that he would guide me towards getting it right. Running an actual show gave me experience in all of the jobs, which helped me come up with my first answer to my EQ.

Blog 11; Mentorship 10 Hours Check

1. I completed over 50 hours of my mentorship stage managing The Rainmaker at Chino Community Theatre.
2. Gregory Cohen
3. 53 hours have been completed.
4. I staged managed the production for all 10 shows on the weekends in September. I would show up two hours early to curtain, set the props, prepare the food, clean up, call time, and keep the staff and actors informed on what was going. After the show, I would put the props back, and clean the set and backstage to prepare for the next show. I was always the one to turn off and reset the alarm every night, because I was the first and last to leave. I also went for 3 hours on the Saturday after our last showing, to break the set down and clean everything on the stage up.
