Hello! My name is Sabriel, I'm a theatre design and communications student out of DC. I'm a jack of all trades technician, so ASM/SM is only one of the things I do (I like the job flexibility).
My sophomore year of high school I injured my knees after 10 years of playing soccer, and I still needed an athletic credit (which apparently they give for theatre tech). I wanted to do costumes, but my mentor looked at me and went "You've taken Lighting Design, you're going to do this." Thus it began. Over 10 shows later and I'm still doing it in college as a major, despite a brief period where I swore I'd take up some respectable International Studies career (no.)
One of the things I want to do with stage management is to help plan/design special events with those skills (being in DC, that means galas, political events, fundraising, things like that, as well as weddings and such). I feel like the skill overlap is there? I don't know, I've just watched enough weddings/heard enough stories where I've thought "man, that bride doesn't need a designer, she needs a manager." I like variety in the jobs I take, I think. I love theatres, but I need all different kinds of spaces.
So ehm, yeah! Hi!
