Theatre
Arts
Management
Theatre
is
a
very
important
aspect
of
my
life.
As
you
can
tell
from
my
attached
resume,
I
have
worked
in
Stage
Management
for
many
different
shows
along
with
Lighting
Design
for
multiple
shows.
Currently,
I
am
the
In-­‐House
Lighting
Designer
for
Union
Street
Theatre,
a
community
black
box
theatre
where
I
am
also
one
of
the
many
Student
Co-­‐Founders.
I
work
carefully
with
Melissa
Charles,
Artistic
Director
on
all
projects
that
she
partakes
in.
Working
in
community
theatre
helps
you
learn
things
that
some
school
theatre
might
not
teach
you,
including
design,
budget,
and
directing.
Stage
Management
is
a
very
crucial
role
in
the
production
of
a
show.
The
Stage
Manager
makes
sure
that
everything
goes
smoothly
and
runs
fault
free.
As
a
Stage
Manager,
• I
meet
with
the
director
of
the
production
about
3
weeks
before
the
show
gets
started.
At
this
time,
I
get
the
script
and
begin
reading
it.
• After
I
read
the
script,
I
consult
with
the
director
to
tell
what
I
am
reading
to
be
the
storyline
of
the
show.
• I
then
assist
with
the
auditions.
I
make
sure
that
all
students
are
checked
in
and
have
audition
material
before
entering
the
audition
room.
• After
auditions
have
finished
and
the
show
is
cast,
I
receive
the
cast
list
and
all
of
the
audition
forms
from
the
students.
In
most
cases
with
Children’s
Theatre,
I
keep
the
waivers
in
a
binder
together
for
emergency
contact
information.
I
input
all
of
the
names
of
students
into
an
excel
spreadsheet
with
phone
numbers
and
emails
and
give
copies
to
all
of
the
Design
Staff
and
the
Assistant
Stage
Managers.
• At
the
first
rehearsal,
I
check
with
all
cast
members
and
designers
and
ensure
that
all
contact
information
I
have
is
correct
for
each
student
and
designer.
• During
each
rehearsal,
I
check
students
in
and
ensure
that
they
have
all
of
their
materials
and
forms
ready
for
the
rehearsal.
I
also
run
music
if
needed
and
handle
any
administrative
tasks
like
collecting
money
if
needed.
While
at
rehearsal,
I
complete
a
Rehearsal
Report
(attached)
explaining
to
the
staff
what
happened
during
the
rehearsal.
• During
show
week
and
also
shows,
I
call
cues
to
either
the
Sound
Board
Operator
or
Light
Board
Operator
to
ensure
that
all
cues
are
completed.
One
of
the
Assistant
Stage
Managers
will
call
the
other
of
the
Sound
Board
Operator
or
Light
Board
Operator.

2. • At
the
close
of
the
show,
I
ensure
that
all
props,
costumes,
and
set
pieces
are
returned
to
their
correct
place
and
then
assist
in
the
strike
of
the
set.
• After
Strike,
I
meet
for
the
final
time
with
the
director
and
finish
up
any
paperwork
and
sign
off
on
the
final
budget
for
the
show.
As
a
Lighting
Designer,
• I
begin
with
a
meeting
with
the
director
and
receive
a
copy
of
the
script
and
read
it
with
the
director
and
discuss
lighting
ideas.
• After
meeting,
I
go
in
at
the
earliest
convenience
with
the
director
and
myself
and
focus
the
lights
and
get
them
ready
to
start
design.
• I
start
with
a
basic
lighting
design
and
add
specials
and
special
effects
after
the
basic
design.
• When
the
technical
runs
begin,
I
work
out
any
kinks
with
the
director
either
during
the
rehearsal
or
after
rehearsal
one
day.
• During
the
shows,
I
have
in
the
past
run
lights.
If
I
do
not
run
lights,
I
sit
in
the
booth
beside
the
Light
Board
Operator
Learning
all
of
these
skills
has
taught
me
more
design
experience
than
the
other.
I
believe
that
one
of
the
most
important
roles
of
a
show
is
the
technical
staff
and/or
the
Stage
Management
Staff.
Having
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
so
much
technical
experience
at
a
young
age
has
taught
me
so
much
in
the
last
3
years.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
look
at
my
design
portfolio
and
I
hope
you
enjoy!
