Outside School Theatre

In November, 2014, I started rehearsals for Beauty and the Beast Jr at Legacy Traditional School in Laveen, Az. I was cast as a spoon in the ensemble as well as the understudy of Ms. Potts. Things got a little crazy backstage, so I took a clipboard and started telling people when they needed to be on, which is how my passion in stage managing began. We rehearsed 3 days a week for 3 hours a day, for about 5 months. Since it was one of the schools first productions, they only did one musical a year. Totaling in about 180 hours of rehearsal time, with 3 performances totaling in about 4 hours total. 

Sixth through eighth grade, I moved to a new school, Paseo Pointe, that unfortunately didn't have a theatre department, but I was in Choir. We did quite a few performances, but my main focus was making sure I was behind that stage for the other younger performers, like for talent shows. I did about 50 hours of choir performing outside of school, and around 20 hours of behind the scenes work for talent shows and younger grade choir concerts. 

My freshman year I joined the school drumline and band. We did a lot of competitions and rehearsals. We practiced every weekday from 4 pm to 9 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm, and had performances every other Sunday for about 4-5 hours. Competition days would range from 6 am to 11 pm. This went on for around 8-9 months. Totaling in around 1368 hours my freshman year alone. My sophomore year, since COVID was around, our rehearsal times were twice a week for 2 hours a day for 2-3 months, totaling in around 50 hours. My junior year it was back to the 4-9 schedule, excluding Saturdays. In around September, I quit drumline and band all together, leaving me with around 30 hours of actual rehearsal time my junior year. Totaling my total Band/Drumline hours outside of class to be 1,448 hours give or take. 

My freshman year I signed up for Intro to Theatre 1-2, which led me to want to be part of the fall play named Peter and the Star Catcher which rehearsed from September-December, 4 days a week for 3 hours a day with one performance. Totaling in around 150 hours give or take with tech week. I was assigned to be assistant stage manager. My sophomore year I was in Technical Theatre 1-2, but I didn't get any hands on experience outside of the class due to COVID restrictions. My junior year, I retook Technical Theatre to be a TA, but I was also in the fall production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon. We rehearsed from September - December, 4 days a week for 3 hours a day, with one performance. Totaling in around 200 hours give or take with tech week. I was the sound board operator for our Spring musical, Grease. I was there for 3 weeks, 3 hours a day, with one performance, leaving me with around 50 hours. Senior year we didn't have any shows, with the exception of a One Act play we are doing as a project which adds around 7 hours of outside school time. Total hours if High School performances is around 407. 

In late January, 2023, I had an interview with the production manager of a show they were doing at a community theatre in Peoria called Theatre Works, for a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I was a spot operator for the production. Tech week I did around 50 hours, with 3 weeks of performances which added up to around 70 hours of performances and strike. Totaling in around 120 hours for a 4 week contract. 

This is a list of all of the shows I have been to, excluding the ones I've been a part of, as well as untitled shows like ice skating shows, dance shows, etc.
