Denver School of Science and Technology is a STEM focused charter network in Denver.

Francis Parker is a Kindergarten through 12th grade private, non-parochial school in Chicago. In my four years there, I scheduled, maintained, and ran their 825 seat auditorium, provided technical support for over four hundred weekly assemblies, founded the Middle School Stage Crew club, shepherded a renovation of the auditorium control booth, and – as my boss once told me – “managed the most unmanageable room in the school.” I provided hands-on stagecraft instruction to students of all ages… Show more Francis Parker is a Kindergarten through 12th grade private, non-parochial school in Chicago. In my four years there, I scheduled, maintained, and ran their 825 seat auditorium, provided technical support for over four hundred weekly assemblies, founded the Middle School Stage Crew club, shepherded a renovation of the auditorium control booth, and – as my boss once told me – “managed the most unmanageable room in the school.” I provided hands-on stagecraft instruction to students of all ages including lessons on hanging & designing lights, set construction, sound mixing, stage management, projection design, and collaborative theatrical production.In addition to my educational duties at Parker, I also interfaced with outside organizations that rented our auditorium. This included the Second City Improv Troupe, the Chicago Humanities Festival, the Chicago Gay Men’s Choir, the Chicago Lyric Opera, Ken Burns, the Kronos Quartet, and countless other groups. I would review technical riders, prepare the space, assist with technical needs, house manage, child wrangle, load in & out, and fulfill a variety of other needs for these guest groups. Show less
