Day Twelve: South Bend


Another show today! We traveled for over five hours, was almost two hours late because the schedule didn't include time change, and set up for our fourth show. It went rather well. The venue had everything set up for us, so it was just my sound/projection set-up and focus. The crew at St. Mary's was AMAZING!!! Another thing I simply love about tour is the people I meet. These men were great to work with and great to talk to. I learned a lot more information about joining the IATSE and advice about finding future positions. I simply love being a tech.

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.
