Well, I read all the rules and stuff. And now I guess it's time to introduce myself.
I'm Sarah Ross, I graduated from Whitworth University a couple years ago with a degree in Communication. I've been stage managing in the Seattle/Tacoma area since I graduated, and I have enough black clothes to uniform a ninja army. I've been reading (lurking) for a while, and finally decided to officially join in.
A tip - I recently bought a giant scrapbooking bag to use as my SM kit. It's great because it has a ton of pockets and things. I spent an hour organizing everything, and was extremely happy with that hour
A tale - I was feeling burnt out a year or two back, and was considering taking a break from stage managing. I was working on a panto at the time (Cinderella), and things were...difficult. But then we opened. And I got to see the looks of joy on the faces of the kids when Cinderella "transformed" into her ballgown. I was reminded of why I love theatre so much.
A bit of trivia - According to QI (an absolutely amazing show, by the way) when the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911, one of the suspects was Picasso.
Anyway, I'm excited to become a member of this great site, and learn as much as I can!
