I took on the role of DSM creating the show book for this production. I oversaw rehearsals notating the blocking, cues and key info about set, props and costume. I also took the production meeting minutes and ran the meetings on occasion. I helped liaise amongst the production and stage management team as well as with the set hire company.
During the productions run I called the show cueing song tracks and lighting. I also assisted with technical issues throughout the production as well as assisting in managing the tech, get in and get out.
