Besides the high stress level of not working in my usual element, I'm actually having a lot of fun on this show. I think it's the youth that are rejuvenating me.
The show is high tech, high fog, heavy costume, and just too many characters. I can't fully extend my arm without touching someone else's shoulder.
They have me running the show from backstage which is awkward for me because I've never really functioned backstage. Constantly running left and right, chasing down actors, pulling away mackers and shushing to no end.
Just not used to it. Used to my comfortable little booth, where I can watch the show and manage onstage disasters while my ASM deals with the chaos.
It's a weird show, but still having fun
