Production Assistant
Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr.
Orlando Family Stage
As a PA on this show, my main responsibility was to aid the stage managers in what they needed to facilitate the rehearsal and performance process. This included printing, running breakout spaces, updating documents, being on book, etc. Additionally in this process, I acted as an unofficial "swing" since we did not cast understudies. I learned the choreography in the event a performer called out.

Creating rehearsal props is not only something I enjoy doing, I think its vitally important to making rehearsal feel as similar to the final product as possible. Especially while working with kids, I wanted to maintain consistency so they weren't surprised or confused when we got the real thing.
