It’s so far, so good in the world of this stagehand. I haven’t broken CatholicMom.com yet, for one.
During the week, they perform for primary- and nursery-school field trips. But they’re short on stagehands, so I fill in (as a short stagehand.)
It’s fun to be backstage (and not in the green room where I saw way too many 10-year-old girls taking duck face selfies with their iPhones and posting them on Instagram. In front of their parents, no less. But that’s another story.)
-1-
Only one piece of scenery fell down. It was lightweight anyway and it didn’t hit anyone. (And it wasn’t my scenery.)
-2-
My only injury was a splinter, and I didn’t even need a needle to remove it. I could have used a nice bath in some Ben-Gay after Tuesday’s shows, though.
-3-
I didn’t have to be the one to handle the (real) dog. They had a designated person to walk the dog between scenes.
I’ll be back there for more shows today–and I’ll get my T-shirt today too!
