I just got an email stating what my duty's will be and what i will be getting paid and the days they need me. Welll I was a bit surprised by the list. The member of there touring crew that had to leave the tour due to family issues was on the lighting and rigging crew for the show. So i will be replacing him and his duty's which are. When the touring trucks arrive with the show pieces and lighting i have to help unload the lighting and the rigging equipment for the scenic pieces that are flown and the rigging for the flight line for the Beasts transformation. Then once the lighting is unloaded i have to help hang and refocus the lights for this particular space. The show is in town for 3 weeks and 5 days. I will have more information as soon as it becomes available to me.

But that was not as fun as doing the lighting crew and the stage crew. I will never get out of theatre. I have aslo applyed at Walt Disney World in the ligthing filed. I have an interview there in 3 months. I really hope i get the job. If i do i would be working on Fantasmic, Illuminations:Reflections of Earth, and Wishes. There 3 biggest shows.
