This week I helped as a techy for the show. It was brilliant having the pressure of a show again. Been nearly nearly a year since helped with the show in a week of 'Robin Hood and the Sherwood Hoodies'.
Wednesday -
Found a dress bag for someone in my class.
Found a black parasol incase she didn't get hers done.
Spray painted the brolly black.Made sure the armadillo was with the actor for rehearsal of Ark of the Animals
Helped someone with a polonaise for their mourning dress.
Help arrange seating and helped work out the best layout of chairs
Helped set up dressing room.
Go back to uni to make a piece of the elephant and cover the unicorns legs in fabric.
Thursday -
Got a running order and worked out what was going off in the show
Photocopied hand written easier to understand running order
Cut rostrum blacks
Pinned black fabric to boards

Went home and made a bigger running order on word. Printed it out.

Was the back end of a rhino, not the first time bring the back end of an animal on stage. Back end of a cow called Daisy
Went backstage for the real thing
During the show carried some animals back to the van
Fetched pins to fix some netting on a dress that had ripped and needed quickly fixing
Got people in the right position back stage
Spoke to sound techy about an interval announcement
Made sure a model had jewellery that had been been used earlier in the show by another model so found that
Tried to keep noise levels down
After the show made sure people in mourning had mourning biscuits
Took down decoration on stage down
Cleared tables in dressing room and put them in bar
Moved chairs in dressing room
Moved everything in the world to the van
The show went amazingly and everyone thought it was brilliant. The Deputy Mayoress was amazed because she hadn't known about the course.
