Theatre Technician Survey

Since I know there’s a vast community of Theatre Technicians on Tumblr I thought I’d put this out there so we could get to know each other.
So here goes:

  • Name (or username): Liz (backstageleft)
  • Areas of tech you’re interested in: Properties & Set (Construction & Design)
  • Area of tech you would like to know more about: Lighting & Sound. 
  • How long you’ve been in tech theatre: I’ve been doing tech since I was in middle school, started off doing set painting. In highschool I upgraded to the backstage stuff (became a prop wrangler) and started building sets, and in college I started designing and doing prop master/artisan work. Sooo that’s nine years since I started in middle school. 
  • Favorite show that you’ve worked on: Steampunk Pirates of Penzance
  • Favorite thing that you’ve created for theatre: Light-up steampunk pirate swords
  • Show you’d love to work on: Wicked
  • Ideal career goal: Broadway or the Film/Television Industry (Working in a prop shop or working as a prop master)
  • How you deal with tech week/hell week stress: If I have spare time: Sit down and watch some adorable disney movie. If I don’t have spare time: Caffeine… and lots of chocolate.

Looking forward to meeting the lot of you.

Helpful hint: After you click “reblog”, go to the top, right next to “Reblog Link” and click the “As…” button and then click “As text.”.
