My daughters (8th and 6th grade) are both in middle school drama club this year. The oldest is one of the stage managers and in charge of sound, and her younger sister is now the sound apprentice.

@jwilker @octothorpe And I was a sound/lighting tech pretty much my whole undergrad life, but mostly in the campus auditorium and local San Antonio venues. And the summer Shakespeare Festival. Ah, man I miss those days.

@octothorpe if you've ever done South Pacific, there's one part where one of the characters shouts "ring the bell again!" and I was that bell

@octothorpe writer, director, producer (not at once). Is that technical crew in english?

@octothorpe Some of us have been both tech crew and performers

@octothorpe I've been tech crew _and_ a performer. I picked performer because in my most successful show I was a performer, not crew - but it was absolutely a bunch of both.

Same. In high school I made a moving ocean out of card board, blue garbage bags, wood, and roller blades. It was so much fun, I hated growing up. -

@octothorpe Set and prop construction. Twice I was Construction Lead. I've also been a stage hand. This was with a community theater group that specialized in pantomime.
Oh no they didn't!
Oh yes they did!

@emarley what discipline? Fly? Carpentry? Sound? Lights?

@octothorpe Both, actually. Build crew HS/Uni and I ran spots for dance shows at my HS. I was an opera singer for ~10 years, with some straight theater mixed in.

@VaylLarkinPoet oh lovely! I miss singing. Fun factβ¦ I was an alto in our chorus for my secondary school underclass years β after my voice changed. One day, I got really sick, and it broke my voice. Now Iβm a bass/baritone, but never re-learned how to sing in that register.
