That's what I feel like I am anyway. For one of my classes I am required to tech crew a show. So clearly I have no choice in the matter and I already missed the first show so the second one it simply must be.
And for good or bad I just happen to do absolutely nothing for the entirety of the show.
Well... almost nothing.
As the tech rehearsals started I had one thing to do. I flipped a switch at the beginning of the show turning on a coocoo clock. Then I turned it off. I then slept backstage for the next 5 hours, woke up helped put away props and such and then left.
After three days of sleeping the director and the stage manager found more for me to do and by opening week I actually had no time to sleep back stage. Then the day before preview night they took all of my actions away again so I'm back to doing absolutely nothing back stage. I still have to BE around though.
Which brings us to today. I showed up at the theatre today at Noon and I have to be here until 8. I've done three things and it's already 5:30. so Two and a half more hours of doing absolutely nothing.
Not all shows are like this. A lot of the time there is lots for tech crew to do. But this specific show has no make up very little costume work and to be honest almost nothing for the crew to do. So we just sit around.
le sigh?
