Mango Roses: First day

What did I do?

Today I went to the first rehearsal of Mango Roses. Firstly, not only was it great meeting Kate, an amazing singer but also spending time with the crew! I didn't do much today except watch them go through the songs and get a feel of the play. However at the end of the day Mr. Thompson (my supervisor) asked me to visit Sanyu Babies Home to take footage of babies crying, doors slamming, basically any sort of chaos. This is needed for the production. They are planning on raising money for Sanyu Babies Home using the money from the tickets. Also, tomorrow I will be taking measurements of the actors so we can begin with costume designing! Hopefully all will go great.

Taking action!

Today when I got home, I began contacted everyone I could in order to increase our backstage crew. As the stage manager, I am in charge of making sure there are enough people in backstage crew. So far I got 5 other people to join and look forward to seeing them tomorrow at rehearsal and getting their help!

Let's reflect . . . 

I'm pretty excited about it all as I have never been backstage crew, let alone stage manager! It will be a new experience and I definitely will be stepping out of my comfort zone. I really hope to make the play successful within the next couple of weeks, and in doing so I shall be working hard and need to be very organized and productive.

Until tomorrow!
