opportunity to manage all production aspects of a spring musical at my high school. Learning to manage every facet of a live musical theatre show created many obstacles. This opportunity has revealed certain strengths and weaknesses, has aided in preparing for future leadership roles, and rightfully reassured that technical theatre is just as important as performance theatre.
