24 hours ... and counting
It's only Tuesday, but I've already put in over 24 hours of work. Yesterday, I worked 13.5 hours collecting and packing equipment for a tech rehearsal of Dancers' Company. Today, we went to the Heritage School in North Provo to perform and I had put in 11 hours packing, set-up, and working of the performance. *Sigh* The rest of the week will be spent working on DancEnsemble in the evenings and a film shoot "Inspector 42" in the daytime (filming in Salt Lake). No rest for the wicked!!

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.
Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.
Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.
I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
