@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.

@ytetic @octothorpe
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.

@Kierkegaanks sure! It’s ‘behind the camera’/offstage.

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

@octothorpe electrician from highschool through college, technical director out of college, took whatever work I could find for a few years, then joined Ringling Brothers as an assistant electrician/protechnician, then Disney on Ice, then Walt Disney World, freelance for a bit, and then equipment rental house tech. Still test and maintain lighting consoles.

@octothorpe thinking about it more my _second_ most successful show, i was lighting crew. so it's really close.
(that show is really memorable because I was able to take a live lighting fuckup and turn it into _part of the show_ and then they did it that way on purpose after that.)

@psychoatberea woah! That’s a wild ride!
