Only in West Virginia...

So this year I'm out in West Virginia at The Aracoma Story Inc. It is an outdoor theatre near Logan. I am working as a General Technician. We also have a Master Electrician, a Sound Designer and a Stage Manager.   We are from all over the place from Virginia to Minnesota. My jobs consists of set building, working on lights and sound when needed, and I am also acting as the ASM for the three shows over the summer.

The last two days we've been doing a lot of cleaning up, because from the way it sounds, the creek behind the theatre flooded. From the way it looks, we lost a couple of the hand sets in the flood and most of the props that were in storage. I helped the Master Electrician fix a handful of lights and we fixed the two towers on the sides that make up part of the proscenium. We get lumber tomorrow and we'll start building the set for "Ring of Fire".

All I know is that it's going to be a interesting summer...more to come.
