What's your typical work
day look like?
I wake up at about 6 am
everyday and leave the house by 7:15. I am in school from 7:45- 3:00 almost
everyday. Rehearsal for shows start right after school. I am either helping out
the cast or helping the crew. It depends on who needs me the most that day. And
then at 6:00 rehearsal is over and I wait for my directors leave (since I am
technically suppose to be the last one to leave but can't since they have the
keys) and I am usually out the door by 6:30 at the latest. I have a 20 minute
drive home and I then I do some Musical work at home. I am in bed by 10:00.
What's the best thing
about your job?
The best thing is the
connections I create with people. My role as stage manager is really hard
because as soon as rehearsal starts I become a figure of authority. And so its
hard for me to switch from being a classmate and a stage manager. But I love
how over the years I gained a respect from people and that makes it way easier.
The way I gained a respect is creating connections with people who I never
imagined.
What's the worst thing
about your job?
I think the worst thing
is when I have to tell my directors when someone breaks contract. Breaking
contract usually results in removal from the show. But it is important that we
make this production as professional as possible. But it sucks to see my
friends lose something they love.

Being in high school this

able to apply it that day and become better at what I do. But in the real world
this job requires a bachelor of arts or bachelor of fine arts. Which takes many
years to acquire. And I am about to spend at least the next 6 years of my life
working toward that goal.
