Also - I've been in tech for Scorched (I am ALD). It goes into previews tonight and press opening is Saturday. I'll write a post soon about how that was, what I did, etc. It's an unpaid position and I've been commuting 30 minutes to it so that's rough, but I've learned an incredible amount. Details later.
A little bit of details: First, this was a relatively light assistantship. The theatre is medium sized one with a smaller budget. I attended all production meeting that I could, design runs, and techs/previews. I created a detailed scene chart. I helped with hang and focus as an electrician. I did not do anything with paperwork because I no longer have student versions of the programs. I programmed (Theatre II board again! Hooray) during rehearsals where the TD was not available to program. The designer Brian always explained things he was doing that I could learn from like splitting cues into parts, some new effect stuff, the awesomeness of an inhibitive sub, blocking cues, etc. It was also my first time programming I-Cues which was cool. Additionally as an assistant I kept track of the Q List and I-Cue track sheets. That was my primary responsibility during tech. I am currently in charge of reading the performance reports and maintaining the show if anything happens. Overall - really great experience. Brian is awesome to work with and super talented. Too bad he moved to Seattle opening day.
