Unfortunately the production that was currently being featured at the Chino Community Theatre a.k.a., The Seventh Street Theatre, has finally reached its last showing. Sounds sad I know, but what this means now is I get go back and work with my mentor on the play The Beauty and the Beast Jr. which will be the March play. What my whole goal with going back is to try finding solid answers to my EQ or maybe even make the ones I have stronger with wonderful pieces of information from my mentor. I plan on doing this through the striking of the stage, sitting in on the auditions, and helping be a stage crew member. For any of the upcoming events at/for the Chino Community Theatre you can either go to their website at http://www.chinocommunitytheatre.org/ or you can come here to this blog. I promise to keep it up to date for the next month on all of the dates of the events.
1) February 1st: is the closing show of Boeing Boeing
2) February 13-16: is the Kiwanis Red Velvet Cake Wars
3) February 23 and 24: are the auditions for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
4) March 7 and 8: will be the showing of The Beauty and the Beast Jr.

Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am currently doing my mentorship at the "7th Street Theater" or it's also known as the chino community theater. Its theater that puts on a new play ever month and has new directors coming and going.
2. Who is your contact?
My contact is Paul Lawrson he is actually the owner of the theater. He started off directing every show then slowly came down to a few plays a year. So I work on the plays he directs or the plays he works on the stage.
3. How many total hours have you done?
So far I have 17 hours and a few minutes. My plan right now is to get to 30 or more buy the end of February.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Well I don't know if you have ever tried to sand down a fairly large hutch a shelf set, but its very time consuming. I couldn't believe that sanding alone would take 5 hours to do. Now for the other 12 hours I spent about 4 hours and a half hours going through the lighting cues that is a slow process, because that slightest mistake and you go to a sudden halt. Now for about the 7 and a half hours was spent doing a little of the same thing as before. However the first 3 and a half hours of those 7 hours were spent making the audio cues while we ran through the full show. Now the last 4 hours was spent running through the show about two and a half times.

Blog 10: Senior Project, The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
Since I was unable to assist during the production process of the January show with my, my break focused on researching on my topic. My research focused on raw materials and the best techniques for building and tools to use. Since I am responsible for builds I thought it would be helpful to improve my understanding of structure, pay loads and set placement.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
Learning the time frames involved in production is very important. My only reference was my current drama experience and I have found that playhouses have a completely different schedule. Where I am use to all the work being focused on one play, then a break and preparing for the next play. In the real world, I have found as one play is going, the behind the scenes work begins for the next play, there are no breaks. So keeping a schedule and knowing your dates is essential in a successful production.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
Since my mentor ship is done at a playhouse, there are several plays within the year. Each play will have a different director and it requires me to work with each one. So the questions would be geared to the director I am working under at the time. I feel like I have several mentors since I am working with so many different people and they all offer a unique insight.
