Head Electrican/IATSE Stagehand for Broadway National Tours… coming to a city near you? This left-handed cheesehead is now based in South Dakota. Also into photography, weather, museums & glass.
More theatres should have grassy areas… where a bunch (?), pack(?), bouquet(?) of Belles can frolic after the show.
But also, what do you call a group of yellow Belles?
(PS- there were more of them running around before I could snap this pic… it was a very vibrant scene of green and yellow).

Everyone who’s seen movie/show probably knows Belle’s line where after Gaston leaves, she says “is he gone?”
Those in a little section at the back of the orchestra got a good giggle when a little girl in the audience answered “yes.”
#tourlife is back. Show(preview) #1 in the books.

Yes it’s May. Yes we have a stocked Halloween bucket. This workbox candy bucket is like three years old, but still going strong and critical to the success of the show.

I got to focus lights this week!
When most of my tours are now 90-100% MLs, and/or because I am usually delegating this task away to others… this is now a rarely used skill!

For #StageShotSunday: I present a pic of the Seattle Paramount in “flat floor/loadin mode.” #tourlife
All the orchestra seats flip down and the floor lifts up to the stage level. There’s not a lot of room backstage- so having this floor space for rigging cases/ cablebins/ carts/ etc is awesome.

A crewmember on this community theatre gig doing “stage crew” for the first time got all of us these pins.
Yeah, I’d say he gets it. 😂

It’s a little odd to try and start a new social media acct when on vacation and 13hours ahead of the US. I promise I usually talk about theatre touring and/or theatre tech and/or lighting design …
But for now: Jeju island!

Today we visited the Nexon Computer Museum in Jeju Island, South Korea. 3 floors of nerdy history of computers, hardware, peripherals & gaming… Interactive exhibits included a bunch of OG arcade (space invaders) and SEGA/Dreamcast racing games.
