Meet the Sets and Props Crew

Meet Our Prop Crew:

Set Head: Peyton Levitt

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 my second time being a head, but the first for set. I was also prop head for our previous competition piece, Goodbye to the Clown. Overall, it has been a great experience and I've had a great time with my amazing crew.

How excited are you for this show?

I'm super excited about this show as overall everything has gone smoothly and I can't think of any big problems that would stop the end product being amazing.

Biggest Struggle?

The biggest struggle was just dealing with covid and online rehearsals. Because we were unable to work in person for more than half of the the total time of rehearsals we had to work double time to get everything we needed done.

What skills to a virtual show did you learn?

I have learned how to manage the little time that we had to be able to get as much done as we could.

Is there advice for anyone looking to be a head for future shows?

My advice would be to just go for it regardless of if you think you can do it or not. If you need help there will always be people who can help you so if you have a passion for a crew just go for it.

Is there any story or memory of this show you would like to share?

My favorite memory was on the first full dress rehearsal, I remember setting up the stage with all of the props and set pieces and then just taking a step back and seeing what all of our effort has been working hard to create. Before this point I had just seen small isolated pieces but being able to see the full stage come together was just beautiful.

Set Crew: Nancy Schwartz

How excited are you for this show?

I'm really excited! I put in a lot of work designing all the paintings and working on the sets, so I'm excited to see everything finally come together.

Biggest Struggle?

Getting all of the paintings done and looking good. Painting the killing angel was down to the wire

Is there any story or memory of this show you would like to share?

Get things done early- plan things out. Having to do a bulk of work last minute is stressful, even when it ends up executed well.

Prop Head: Micheal Jimenez

First time being a head: New experience?

It’s been rough learning to be head and coming up with the list and reading the script to make sure everything is there. I learned new leadership skills, it was fun.

How excited are you?

A little bit of bummer, it's okay its for everyone's health, there has been two other shows online so, it's okay.

Biggest Struggle?

Paintings, how many there were, coming up with different ones to do for the show, they got it in on time.

What skills to a virtual show did you learn?

It was more of adapting to an online aspect, and felt similar, not much of a difference.

Is there advice for anyone:

Have lists ready before rehearsals start, have tasks for crews to do so everything is done, communicate with crew always, don’t take yourself too serious don’t be mean to make your crew do something, make it fun so they could be a prop head
