      I designed the audio for this production. I used Logic Pro in my edits of audio and focused deeply on the radio aspect of life on this production. With creating a preshow and post show in the style of old radio shows and commercials. I also composed the soundscapes used within the show. I created a variety of paperwork for the stage manager, who ran the show that night. Since it often changed who was running the show. Also was there throughout the whole tech process and focused on achieving what the director wanted. Show less

      Was the overseer for all audio needs within the productions of this specific summer season. Which included Tokens of Affection, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Oklahoma!, and the Games Afoot. I was required to be there during the whole tech process, prepping microphones, running the shows. As well, had to do content creation within Qlab and Logic pro. I programmed the shows within the Soundcraft Expression SI. I also served on the title as the assistant master electrician and had to help with the focus of lighting and load-ins. As well, lead the load-ins of audio. Which often times, was just myself. Once shows were running, I was also required to help with tasks around the facilities, such as ushering certain shows and helping manage the traffic flow in our parking lot. Show less
