Troupe 4301, Haralson County High School, will present Lend Me a Tenor at #GaThesCon18. In this door-slamming farce from Ken Ludwig, world-famous opera singer Tito Morelli has been hired by the Cleveland Opera company to debut their season as Pagliacci. When Tito apparently dies hours before opening curtain, desperate and hilarious measures are taken to make sure the show goes on.
Troupe 5390, Columbus High School @troupe5390, will present The Rose of Treason at #GaThesCon18. @_bennett_to_win_it_ Based on the story of Sophie Scholl and Hans Scholl. In 1943 Germany, a group of university students started a resistance group called The White Rose aimed at bringing down Hitler’s regime. Their story is one of breathtaking courage, selflessness and utter faith in what is right. The White Rose is an inspiring tribute to the goodness of humanity shining in the darkest moments of history.
Troupe 3064, Forsyth Central High School @fchsstage, will present Children of a Lesser God at #GaThesCon18. A touching story of love and struggle between the hearing and the deaf world. Through the lives of James and Sarah, we experience the trials of understanding and compassion. The conflict of these two worlds, sound and silence, seem almost too great for their love, but the final deeper understanding unites them toward reconciliation.
Troupe 7047, North Oconee High School, will present Peter/Wendy at #GaThesCon18. This dark, lyrical, and atmospheric interpretation of Peter Pan strips the familiar story down to its emotional essence. Peter lures Wendy from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland, where she joins his adventures with Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, and the menacing Captain Hook. This dramatic, inventive adaptation pays homage to the darker themes of J. M. Barrie's original story.

My Stage Management Kit
Alright, so some of my regular followers might have noticed that I have a silly tag system (or they’ve just noticed random tags that don’t seem to make sense). For general theatre posts, often tech, I tag “techrider.” For resources and references, I tag “pencilcup.” And for most of my own posts, I tag “smkit.” You know, to be cute. But this time, I’m actually posting about my SM kit, and I’m pretty stoked, so I might just tag all three ‘cause what the hell, it’s my blog and I can screw with the system all I want.
Meet Samson:
Samson is a product of Artbin, made of a durable cloth material with (I discovered) luan siding. Notice the sweet rolling luggage-style handle and the nice big snaps keeping the two pieces together. The top has its own carrying strap, and the bottom (wheels attached) has two comfortable handles for hauling this beast in and out of my trunk when moving spaces. Hopefully won’t have to move him much this summer, he’s not light.
Let’s open him up!
First glance does not do it justice–it is quite deep. But let’s check out that neato zipper-pocket on the top flap:
That pocket is basically the size of the entire flap, but for now I’m just storing my headband and desk/clip/LED light. ($10, Barnes & Noble, super sturdy bright light, I highly recommend it!)
Alright, and as for the rest of the top bin…
Bubba Zips, my stage management buddy, is coming along for the ride. He loves the upgrade.
Time to unpack!
Here’s everything that fits comfortably in the top:
1. Huge 4″ D-ring trapper keeper (regular binders are typical in stage management, but keep in mind that we’ll be in the elements this summer). 2. Ruler, protractor, scale rule. 3. Hole-punch. 4. Spare water bottle. 5. Bubba Zips. 6. Umbrella. 7. Clean rags. 8. Main tape supply (spike, gaff, drafting, glow). 9. Spike stick with scissors attached (thank you, Techblr!). 10. Tape measure. 11. Electric pencil sharpener. 12. Gerber tool. 13. Stun-gun (told you, public park). 14. Personal medical kit. 15. Outdoorsy things (bagged). 16. Craft/sewing kit (bagged). 17. Extended medical kit (bagged, large). 18. Shakespeare reference book.
Moving on to the bottom, because we have a long way to go…
Electronics/etc. (shoe)box, office supplies box, office supplies bag, hardware box, toolkit, hygiene box, feminine hygiene bag, three packs of gum.
The pink-tab boxes (Artbin or something similar, I shopped around quite a bit) are fantastic. Deep, sturdy, very strong. The bags are nice as well, waterproof, clear-ish, and they smell awesome.
Basic toolkit:
…with more hardware-type things. I’ve got rubber bands, glues, flashlights, lighter, spare screwdrivers, clips, a boxcutter, and one of those cool marker/cutter combo things. Also a pen light, because you can never have enough little lights at the park.
This here is my electronics/et cetera box. It includes (pictured above) another damn flashlight, spare scissors, fishing line, “other” tape, a table-clock, an AUX cable, and an iPhone cable (I don’t even have an iPhone…). Pictured below, we have a box of batteries (AA, AAA, D), a speaker (compatible with the AUX cable), a Master Lock & keys, headphones, a USB-power adapter, and a flashdrive.
Next, we have a plethora of office supplies. Post-its, tacks, sticky-tack, staples, clear and double-sided tape, eraser-heads, more rubber bands, tabs, paperclips, binder clips, page protectors, pens/pencils/highlighter, pencil sharpener, erasers, and a stapler.
Let’s see if I forgot anything…
Oh yeah, that quick-flick finger-moistener and the gluestick and white-out.
Next, the bag: It contains less-used office supplies, like Elmer’s glue and a spare stopwatch, plus lots of stickers/labels. Also a pack of notecards, and a pack of thank you cards, because you never know when you will owe someone a proper thanks!
Next up, hygiene…extra important when you’re working in nature!
Basic feminine hygiene is in an easy-go bag. Here, we have Carmex, Wet Ones, Gold Bond, lotion, powder-scented antiperspirant, Colgate wisps, make-up wipes, facial tissue, a pack of bobby pins with hair-ties and barrettes wrapped around it, a scrunchie, a pack of Q-tips, Tide to-go sticks, and a brush/mirror combo. Now let’s look under some of these things:
There’s also hand-sanitizer, baby powder, Listerine tabs, toothpaste, floss, a pencil-sharpener for makeup, a nail-clipper, tweezers, a lint-roller, and some cotton balls.
That’s all, folks! Thanks for taking the tour. Oh, and you know that tiny box of brads I forgot to pack yesterday? Well, I packed away all the stuff again after these pictures, and realized I forgot that stupid little box again…so here it is, all alone. Bubba is so disappointed in me.
A lot of people confuse left and right, but no one ever confuses up and down.
in theatre this is untrue
Leaders are coming together at LeadCon today.
Despite the pending weather, we have a great group at LeadCon!

Georgia theatre education leaders are ready to take Washington, D.C. for EdTA Advocacy Day! #edtadvoc17 (at Capitol Hill)
Congratulations Frank Pruet on a fantastic term of EdTA Board President. We couldn't be more proud!
The Educational Theatre Association recognized Georgia Thespians for achieving Gold Honor Chapter with the EdTA Honor Chapter program today. This honor is meant of those chapters that do tremendous work on the state and local levels.
Okay so the trees on the set of Come From Away are actual trees that they kind of just cut down and put up there and some of them are still growing because of the moisture trapped inside of them and the stage lighting and I’m honestly SO SHOOK? Evan Hansen would be SO PROUD
So sad. These trees are dead but they just don’t know it yet.
A true lighting tree
SEVEN AMAZING IMAGES OF STAGE TECHNICIANS THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Imogen Cunningham’s “Theater, Cornish School” shows a lighting designer at work at the college in 1935.
Carpenters building sets, 1935. And yes, most are wearing collared shirts, ties and even waistcoats.
At the rail, 1935
Stagehands, 1899

If you were a stagehand in the 18th century, one of your jobs might have been trimming the candle wicks on the footlights.
