I helped with moving lights, making dumpster runs, sweeping up the floor, helped move the scaffolding with Mr. K. And i helped paint scenery and move scenery. That is how i helped with Les Miserable.

In intro to tech theater we did a lot of behind the scenes work for this show. We first help paint and do other thing with the scenery and sets. I helped paint some shutters and the bottom of the barricade. For a few of the days I also cut out a lot of the stones for the bridge and proscenium, and painted the rocks. On another day I spent a long time cutting out and putting in gels for the lights. I made many trips to and from the music room to move lights. I also made many runs to the dumpster. By the time the show came near, we would sweep the stage and pick up trash in the house.

I did a lot of behind the scenes work for Les Miserables. Getting this experience as well as acting in the show gave me a very well rounded experience with the show. Technically, I did a lot of work painting the various set piece. Me and Bowen also worked as Mr. k's second hands assisting him with various projects that came up of the course of the building. During the shows I also move a lot of scenery, which is a huge contribution to the look of the show. I enjoyed working on this show and look forward to helping build an ever better set next year.

Along with other members of our class, I had to paint most of the props/set. I would have to say that I am most proud of the way the set, and lighting design(s), turned out. The two really added feeling and depth to the play itself. Overall, I thought the play was simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy part for making the show come alive was painting alot of the scenery. A few of the members and I painted the furniture, shutters, and the rocks that lined the stage. I'm definitely proud of how the scenery came out after we finished painting it. It looked really real, and that helped the audence to understand more about Les Mis and how the whole mood of the play was. One thing I would have changed that I did would probably be get less paint on my hands and clothing and more paint on the props...!
ReplyDeleteIn tech theater I did alot of the painting and scenery moving for Les Mis like: dumpster runs, stapleing the pit, organizing the tool cabinet and paint room, plus I ushered all the shows and cleaned up the house after everyone left. I would have to say I am most proud of the outcome of the scencery which made the play outstanding. Also i'm not sure what I would do differently.
ReplyDeleteFor Les Miserables I did some of the scenery painting and helped move the lights. Me and Gigi also stapled the Orchestra Pit and we organized the cabinet plus the paint room. I did dumpster runs. I am pround that the sets came out the way the were supposed to but if I were to do something differently I would probably of worked a little harder and work more.

For Les Miserables I was involved in painting scenery, including the stairs, shutters, wagon, barricades, and painting the makebelieve stone to make it look as if it were real. I am most proud of the shutters, because they were the one thing I spent the most time with. I would have done nothing differently because if I had, the show might have been different, and it was absolutely wonderful just the way it was!

In tech theather, I did alot of painting and scenery moving for the production of Les Mis ; such as stapeling the orchestra pit, organizing the tool cabinets, and the paint room , moving the lights, and painting the rocks, stairs, baracade and shutters along with doing many dumpster runs and cleaning the costume/dressing room . I also like Gigi ushered for the shows and cleaned up the house after everyone left. Since working on the play in tech theather, the stage seem to come more and more alive each and every night i saw the scenery i made through the nights of Les Mis, this happened to be the thing i was most proud of it made the play very intreging to watch. I am not quite sure what i would do differently since i was very much involved in the outstandingly successful produciton of Les Miserables here at Amity.
ReplyDeleteLes Mis is done and dusted, and what a journey it has been! I have worked a lot over the past month or so to help get this show off the ground. Besides working on stage crew, I painted and stapled a lot of the fake rocks to the bridge, especially some rocks to fill in empty spaces around the edges of the main sheets. I helped dust off some of the shutters that were eventually painted and mounted on the false proscenium. I also screwed on some handles for the gun crate and put a short plywood skirt onto the bottom of the barricade so that no one could see the feet of the people moving behind it. Beyond this, I did some work over spring break. During that time, Mr. Kennedy and his lighting technician Dan were hanging up all of the lights for the show. I helped out a bit with that.
ReplyDeleteWorking on this play was a great experience; because of it, I am considering trying out for next year's productions (perhaps both fall and spring). Unfortunately, all of that fun came at a price, since I am now loaded with three projects that are all due this week. Maybe this is a case of being in the right place at the wrong time, but if I had known that I would have this much work to do after the play, I don't know if I would have worked on it.
In this play I made dumpster runs, orginized a room to get the moving set for the play easy to push in and out and i also moved equipment and moved the scatfolding.

For this play i painted a lot of the chairs, tables, benches, and rocks that were used in the set. I am proud that my work was being seen by the people in the school and other people of the community.

Everyone has heard the saying "Write what you know." Personal narrative essays allow you to take this advice to the extreme, since the point of one of these essays is to write about your own experience. That doesn't mean that you have to have something earth-shattering or epic to write about; however, it also doesn't mean that you should create a work of fiction loosely based on a story from your life. It doesn't have to be that hard or that complicated. The truth is, any essay about your everyday life or your ordinary past can be a great personal narrative essay, if you write it well. essay writing
