Today was my first day on the job. I'm working at the Reskin and I'm excited. This morning there was a performance of Alice in Wonderland and I ended up filling in for a missing crew member. I'm kind of glad I wasn't on that show. It was complete chaos when I got there and during the show. It's still an interesting show. Once I was done with the show I drilled some wholes in some steel and learned the basics to welding. I even got to try welding for a few minutes. I work again tomorrow and I'm being harnessed trained to work on the front of house truss. I look at it as the next step up from air ducts. It is a horizontal stick of truss that runs about the length of the proscenium and is suspended by three chain motors currently at 30ft up from the house floor right over the house. Tonight I'm seeing Iphigenia 2.0 by Charles Mee. It is supposed to be really good. Off to do the girl thing.
