my fourth-year film - "Intermission"

#loooooooooved this film. what a wonderful wonderful capture of stage management!!!#smblr #techblr

wow i'm coming back to do a show in an place i haven't worked in for years, not since my first summer in college, and lo and behold. two-person overlap between the production team of my last show and this one

what a small world!

#kind of awesome and kind of nervewracking lol. i thought i would know nobody but i guess i'll know three people?! crazy lol #hydt orginals #show: emma 2025 #techblr #theater #theatre #smblr

a stage management first for me tonight... sent out a performance call email to cast and crew. normal.

got back an email saying "i am not on your crew anymore but someone else is. not sure who though!"

... less normal

#hydt originals #techblr #theater #theatre #smblr #show call is in. 14 hours LOL #dance show june 2025

me, trying to cram in doing show paperwork after my day job: actually i think i miss when i was spending 30h a week in rehearsals

#hydt originals #im really just. wow. this is why we have asms normally huh #i thought this was going to take 1h but its gonna take like. 6 lol #techblr #theater #theatre #smblr #dance show june 2025

wow. apparently sometimes in life you can go see a show and gush about it so hard to your seatmate that you end up being asked to cold submit your stage management resume to a totally different theater

#absolutely fascinating.#i show up. i lose my shit. i meet an understudy during intermission. i get an email address to contact with my resume.#i watch the second half of the show. i cry a lot. i contribute to the standing ovation. i go homee.#wow.#sometimes im like. maybe fate is not setting me up to stage manage anymore #and then sometimes this happens #hydt originals

one of the performers from the most technically complex performance has to leave between tech time and the show to go to a baby shower so we (i) get to mic and unmic this guu twice in the span of two hours

#hope he gets very cool abt me having to put my hand up his shirt very fast lmao #oh i should email them both to wear a base layer to avoid that omg #hydt orginals #techblr #theater #theatre #smblr #show: 2024 summer festival

man. nothing i love more than writing a tech schedule to tech a 4-hour show in 55 minutes.

#we'll be doing q2q and also its not that bad bc theres like 6 cues total but also like *shrieks*#show: 2024 summer festival

performance coordinator: yeah so the band might be [one guy], and maybe a bassist, and maybe a guitar. and maybe drums and a keyboard?

festival director: ...

me, frantically doing equipment request math in my head: ... yes if you could just let us know please, that would be very helpful

y'all this show is in. nine days

update: the four-guy band might be eight guys now

logistics email: please include a stage plot so we can have some sense of what we need to prepare for

one email response: our group doesn't really need a stage plot! unrelatedly, we may have an aerial rig.

#its not as bad as im making it sound but i clicked into the stage plots folder and.#this one was literally just a screenshot of the email ahahaha #techblr #theater #theatre #hydt originals

me: i need background music to do paperwork to. might as well put on the performers' backing tracks. it's great they're organized into a folder in the google drive already! two birds with one stone!

me: *opens the folder*

folder: *is completely empty*

me: ... nevermind i guess

#hydt originals #techblr #theater #theatre

we have an official schedule !!!!!! with a week to spare !!

#i just saw the email #ahhh its so nice to do lowkey stage management ...#back in the day i had to turn on my email push notifications on my phone lol #hydt originals #show: apicc 2024

#hydt originals #show: apicc 2024 #techblr #theater #theatre #smblr #at least the performance coordinator sounded vaguely chagrined after i said that haha

i'm stage managing for the first time in a few years and it's just SO NICE, man i've missed this. i can't believe they're giving me MONEY for this!! the festival coordinator said i can make ALL THE PAPERWORK I WANT!

#techblr #theater #theatre #smblr #hydt originals #show: apicc 2024 #my first stage management for money gig! wow!#truly they (adults) did not lie when they said network is everything
