I have been involved in the drama department at Charter Oak since my freshman year, but I did not partake in the behind-the-scenes tech work until my junior year. I decided to continue helping the props crew for the fall drama production, Rebel Without a Cause.
My jobs included bringing props on and off stage, handing out props to the actors before the show, going to props crew meetings during and after school, and attending a majority of the rehearsals at the theatre. While this commitment did require a dedication of a lot of time, the experience was made pleasurable. Not only was I the only member of the crew who was not in the drama class, but I got to spend time with good friends and be a part of something I love, the arts.
