I communicated with the designers about the space and what they wanted for their design. Upon receiving the plot, I would talk through any issues with the design with them and the TD with the aim to solve them. In addition to this, it was my responsibility to keep an accurate inventory of the space, as well as train the actors who would help me during changeover.

I assisted the Master Electrican with the hang, focus, and running the Obsession II for one show. In addition to that, I assisted the TD and Scene Shop with build and installation of sets. I assisted load-in and load-out for both Electrics and Scenery, depending on where I was needed more.

I realized the lighting plot for the designer, including hanging, focusing, and programming the lighting console. I also assisted props/scenery when there were electrified props and set pieces. I also oversaw a crew of 2-4 interns during the changeover between two shows, working with scenery to move line sets around, and working with the lighting designer to sort any issues that arrived during the changeover or focus. I was also in charge of designing the lights for the children's shows that happened in the mornings.
