Ah, yes, after-lunch quiet time, and its daily dilemma: do I join the small people in resting, do I clean something uninterrupted, or do I blink with Nietzschean ennui into the desolate wasteland of a WIP pulled up on my laptop screen until the unformed sentences start leaking out of my ears.
hello good people of technical theatre, quick question: if i were to work on tours. would I be required to ride in a bus/stay in hotels? do you get a stipend to spend on travel/housing, or do they pay for it (&decide where you’ll stay) or is that kind of thing just left to you?
I know it’s probably not the same in every tour but just wanted to pick your brains.
EDIT: Just wanted to say I greatly appreciate everyone’s responses to this post & ofc welcome any more info if anyone wants to share. Thanks so much!
So out of curiosity, wolf anyone be interested in like. A podcast about Tech theatre? Kind of like this post I made forever ago that blew up
[IMAGE ID: tumblr user 5-to-places: You know what I want? I want a show in the Style of The Office, only it follows a production team at a theatre. Have like, an SM, some designers, front of house, an electrician, board ops, a Michael Scott-esque director who has all these big ideas, and actors that would cycle through every half season or at the end of the season. Idk just an idea. END IMAGE ID]
I'm kinda thinking of making it, but in an audio format, maybe framing it in the way of a Stage Manager who records production meetings, mixed in with phone calls and things like that.
This is what I'm thinking:
[IMAGE ID: Discord user Kestrel (They/He): So what I'm thinking is a podcast that follows a Tech crew at a theatre company, and I want it to have sort of SF (Stellar Firma) vibes but it'll be scripted. It'd mostly focus on tech crew, but there will obviously be a director, a few actors, etc. And the director has sort of Michael Scott vibes in the way of big ideas and no realistic way to achieve them, And the actors of varying degrees of coolness ranging from 'neat actor who helps out sometimes and generally gets along with tech' to Actor™️ (trademark emoji).
In terms of Tech characters I for sure want a design team (Scenic, Costume, Lighting, and Sound), a Props Master bc of course, a Tech Director, and maybe some scenic carpenters, stitches, and electricians. And a Stage Manager. END IMAGE ID]
I'm not gonna say its definitely gonna be a thing, but I would love to do it if there's an interest in it, so like. Let me know in the replies/reblogs!
