Upon reflection over the many years, school productions aren't just about the audience, aren't just about a great show, they're about taking out all the great moments we have when we bump in or out, have dinner together, or run the show.
And as usual, Fame has outdone itself with plenty of memories I will treasure forever... Confetti, a broken car, and the customary decorous conversation (yeah... RIGHT!).
I could explain how the show went, but if you don't know already then you should have bought tickets.
I could enlighten you as to the details of bump in and the construction of the set, or you could just look at the pictures and their descriptions down the bottom.
I could even inform you of our wonderfully exquisite conversation that we often had as we dined in fine restaurants, though I might not want that kind of conversation left in writing for the whole world to see.
So instead, just remember the days of hard work and hours of lost sleep shared by the crew:
Stewart Bell; Director.
Luke Hawley; Stage Manager.
Brett Pullyblank; Assistant Stage Manager, Locker mover.
Nic Frame; Assistant Stage Manager, Pain in the ass...
James Lescohier; I dunno, what did I do??
Jonathan Davies; Stage Crew.
Laura Matthews; Stage Crew.
Zabrina Batterham; Stage Crew, Locker mover.
Liam Burns; Stage Crew.
James Lee; Stage Crew.
James Panther; Venue Manager + more.
John Panetta; Lighting Design/Operator.
Steve Monkhouse; Lighting Queue person.
Alastair Bryant; Would-be Stage Crew.
Don Wallice; Sound, Music Industry teacher.
Matthew Sanderson; Wireless microphones/sound.
Linh Nguyen; Sound Queue Person.
Dale Krummins; Sound.
Steven Bowler; Pianist.
Kristy Kendall and Lauren Perfect; Dance and Choreography.
Clarabelle; King Cow...
There are plenty I have missed, let's not forget them too.
Thanks to all the cast too, though our jobs are usually easier without you!
