First time being a head? First time being a head for this particular crew? If not what other shows have you been a head for? If you are a first time head, how has that experience been?
This is not my first time being a head, but it is my first time running marketing. I have been a head for Alice in Wonderland. Doing marketing has been fun, I enjoyed making videos and graphic advertisements and I hope they do well to promote the show!

I am very very very very very very very very very very very excited.

How excited are you for this show?
I won't lie, the thought of an online show petrified me. Although I struggle quite a bit this show has been such a wonderful experience and I am very excited for it. I think everyone who worked on it did an amazing job.
Biggest Struggle?
I think not being able to do everything house crew can do in person was devastating. I love seeing the audiences faces and being able to greet everyone as they come in. Adjusting to online was definitely a struggle as well.

Listening to your crew is VITAL. Being someone in charge comes with a lot of responsibilities that sometimes falls out of your control. You have to be okay with struggling and taking advice in order to rebuild the stability a crew needs.
Is there any story or memory of this show you would like to share?
This website's pictures. I spent about 4 hours trying to upload the pictures. There was always something wrong, whether it be the pictures not being sent in by the heads or the files were the wrong type or my wifi took forever. I laugh now, but my back will never forgive me for sitting like a question mark.

Is there any story or memory of this show you would like to share?
This happened last week, but we were all in the google meet except for our house head Joanna, so I called her while my mic was on and her reaction to us telling her we had rehearsals was priceless. (Joanna would like to sincerely apologize for this)
How excited are you for this show?
I honestly had no idea what this show was going to be like and I was so nervous to see what the plans were for it but once we got started it wasn't too terrible, just very time consuming and a lot of waiting on other people.
Biggest Struggle?
I think my biggest struggle was balancing the work I had to do in school plus when the show first started I was doing sports so probably just having to balance all of it and still at least pop into the meeting for a few minutes to know whats going on.

I learned to really look for different resources and ways to get the information you need.
