This past week was the tech week of the fourth show I\u2019ve done crew for this semester. That means that for four weeks I spent basically everyday from 6pm-12:30am in rehearsals backstage during a performance.<\/p>\n

What was different about this one was the energy. I was on costume crew for Musket\u2019s production of the show BARE. BARE is a show I already knew and loved, compared to the other three shows I\u2019ve worked on this semester. Plus all the people involved were so dedicated an excited that it made me extremely happy to be there. BARE was the first show I\u2019ve worked on in college that I\u2019ve felt 100% invested in.<\/p>\n

With the other three I just made sure everything with costumes happened correctly, and answered questions\/ fixed things if they broke. While I still did that for BARE, there was the added fact that I really cared about the show itself. It made me more invested in the changes and overall process because I knew the story and the the importance of telling it. It was the first time I actually felt the opening night energy and closing show sadness when working on a show here, and that really showed me a lot.<\/p>\n

Some of my favorite moments from working on this show were when a quick change (There were many in this show!) would go right and all of us on costume crew would be so excited and proud giving high fives and cheering silently!<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t get to see BARE you really missed out on some incredible performances by both cast and backstage crew in making the show come together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
