Greetings all!
I am a former SM who has moved temporarily *crossed fingers* to the dark a.k.a.
directing side of the business. I've mostly been doing high school lately, but considering making a leap into directing the dreaded "Waiting for Guffman" community theatre. I am not trying to bash all community theatre groups, just a few I've worked with years ago.
SM wise, I've run community theatre, college performances as well as operas. I've enjoyed my time with the more professional organizations, particularly the opera companies!
I also pick up work as a LD, MD, and TD. I'm not sure which I enjoy the paperwork on, but I know my favorite moments are calling shows, or conducting the pit orchestras. Something about having to live on the edge, where a moment of inattention can mess with incalculable numbers of actors, technicians, and patrons.
I look forward to reading through the various boards and chatting with you all!
Cheers!
