From the console to the stage
« on: Jul 06, 2014, 10:33 pm »
Good Evening Everyone,

I just wanted to say hello.  I am a new Stage Manager for a local high school.  It just so happens that I graduated from and also work for the same school district in the IT Department.

I only have experience from high school where I was spotlight operator, pyrotechnics operator, and soundboard operator.  This year I was responsible for the training and supervising special effects/technical crew.  I am very excited to see this new and challenging side of theater.  I joined this forum to meet other SM’s and learn about the craft.

I graduated with a degree in computer science from UNLV in Las Vegas in 2009 and have been working in IT since 2004.  If you have any computer questions I am happy to help.  Anyway thanks for creating this great community and I look forward to contributing as much as I can.

Sincerely,
Phil

Glad to have a fellow tech person (in both respects). My other hat is web design/dev, and I worked as a student assistant in college for both the theatre lighting shop and the med school's web dept. I look forward to what contributions you can bring from either plane of experience (which, I've found, can intersect in surprising ways).
