Summer Stock Scenic Designer/TD Job!!

If anyone is looking for a summer job, the College Light Opera Company is looking for a Scenic Designer/Technical Director for this season. I worked for them for a few years and they’re a really great company. They put on nine full scale musicals and operettas every season. I’ve met some of my closest friends here and you can really learn a lot. You live down the street from the beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and pay $5,000 in addition to room and board (all meals are covered).  Message me if you have any questions! http://www.collegelightoperacompany.com/

Reblog if you post about or anything relating to stage lighting.

Stage Management Emails

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please find attached a thousand documents you are not going to read which are going to answer all the questions you ask me tomorrow.

Ensure you take the time to pretend you have read them because tomorrow is Monday and I’ve slaved all night on these because I can’t sleep unless they are completed. Also, they look amazing.

Kind regards,

Your Stage Manager.

P.S. If you’re actually reading this - I LOVE YOU

listen up theatre nerds

so a friend gave me the idea to start a post that tags a bunch of peeps with primarily theatre blogs, so that us theatre nerds can find each other easier.

so if you run, or follow people who run, primarily theatre blogs, reblog this, add people, tag people, whatever.

*this includes people who post about any aspect of theatre, including musical theatre blogs, acting blogs, techie blogs, etc.*

Things people in theatre do:

Talk about their past shows like they were the greatest.

Hate at least one critically acclaimed actor/actress.

Refuse to watch the movie because, “the live musical was better.”

Drink coffee like it’s their job.

Judge the lighting at every event ever.

Wear black regularly.

Cringe at the rare instance they see sunlight.

Essentially live in a cave.

Be Batman.
