Yomanda-

That is great! The Clarence Brown Theatre is attached to UT, and is actually a LORT D theatre. Which is how I was able to start earning points towards equity! We are doing some great shows this semester as well. (I hear the stage manager for Our Country's Good is pretty awesome   Come see us sometime!

Introductions / Greetings, from a sports nut turned theatre enthusiast!

Hello from the wonderful town of Knoxville, Tennessee! My name is Alex, and I am a senior at the University of Tennessee hoping to graduate in May with a degree in Theatre.

I found this website while looking for helpful suggestions on various paperwork templates, and decided that I should become an active user! Now, just a little bit about me and my background. As I said before I am a Theatre major, but when I first started college I was a civil engineer. I did theatre all throughout high school, but figured that it was not a valid career choice for me moving forward in life.

I ended up being a deck crew member on a show my sophomore year, and then got sucked into the entire theatre community. 2 and a half years and 17 shows later my entire life has been turned around. After my third show I found the amazing world of Stage Management, and found that it was where I really fit in. I have now stage managed 3 shows and ASM'ed 5 shows. I just completed a stage management internship at Des Moines Metro Opera this summer, and that experience was extremely helpful.  I am now trying to decide if I want to take the Opera management route or continue on the Musical and Classical theatre path. It is one of the many things I am hoping to figure out in my final year at school.

Thank you for reading my book, and I hope to become a supporting member of this great site!
