I first went to help out with Big Bad Mouse on Monday 7th November. The set is a office and the stage has been blocked off with wooden panels, so it looks like a room. I helped build one of the panels that night and helped screw the panels in place.
I went to the theatre next on Saturday, got there about 10 and left about 4. I did a lot more today, I first help sort out the blacks that are going behind the panels. I measured the size for each one and cut them out. I will be able to explain this better when I have got a photo. I then helped put some doors in and screwed them place. It was surprisingly difficult to get the door in place to screw it in. I then helped with making a window for a blind.
The play being performed by Dukeries Theatre Group and have a lot more information about what happens in the play.
I don't know the play and sadly I'm not helping backstage either but I am going to see the play tonight and speak to someone about helping out more for the next play they are doing. I was speaking to someone about a play they are doing next year and it is about an inventor and he wants to design something that waters plants automatically but he didn't make an off switch and at the end of the performance the pipes explode with water going everywhere. A lot more happens in the play also so I would love the challenge of designing this set.

Theatre Design Experience
I helped out with three productions at school. When I was in year nine (2007) I helped out with Grease. I didn't do very much on this because a lot of people were working on it but after doing this I knew I wanted to help out backstage on more productions.
I helped with my schools next production Busgy Malone, this was in 2008 and I enjoyed this more because I also helped backstage on the night. Also the team working on the set was a lot smaller and had quite a few good props to make like the Splurge Guns.
The final theatre production I helped out with was Disco Inferno, this has quite a boring set but it wasn't so much about that it was the experience. The team was even smaller this time, it was me and one other student and my teacher.
