Back to the 80's

As a result of choosing the subject Entertainment for my preliminary year, we are required to run the school musical. This year the musical is 'Back to the 80's'. As the crew we are responsible for the audio, props, actors, hair, make-up, costumes and making sure everyone is where they need to be when they need to be. It means early mornings and late nights and for us, no class. For the first performance everyone was nervous, excited and anxious. We all knew that we had to be on the ball doing our jobs correctly. In the rehearsals we had the luxury of being able to take our time, but in the actual production we couldn't be a second late. I personally was a runner, which meant i had to go between the hall where the production was and where all the actors were doing their costume changes, making sure everyone was back stage and running on time so they did not miss their cue. It was all very stressful and everyone was glad when the show was over. We still have another two productions to go, and we hope they are both as enjoyable and successful as the first two
