The Stage Crew Behind Every Play Should Deserve More Recognition For What They Do

The Stage Crew: the heart of every production.

There has been something that I enjoy to watch and be part of. I have been in many plays acting on stage and working behind the scenes. One thing I have noticed in the past is how the technicians and the crew backstage usually do not get any praise. Now I am not saying we need to get a standing ovation, but a bow at the end of the show would be much appreciated.

When you go to see a play, you usually are here to watch a story unfold in front of your eyes and watch how the actors perform. What the audience doesn't see is the crew backstage working hard to make the show possible. The stage crew is a vital part of every production. The stage would be bare without the sets, music, and the lighting to match every song and every line. It's what brings every play to life and make the story more enjoyable. The stage is often forgotten because they are not seen on stage, but the hard work and time that they put into every show should be praised.

The production of a play is like a human body. The actors are the arms and legs. The script and scenes are the brains. The nerves are the sets, the lighting, and the songs. Finally, the heart is the stage crew because they are responsible for everything and keeping the production alive.

It is easy to focus on the actors and actresses on stage, but you should look behind the curtains. Every member of the stage crew puts their heart and soul into making the play a smooth production.

The stage crew should deserve more recognition because of the amount of work they put into each thing. It can be from painting a door to making sure the actors are at the stage at the right time. They do a lot for each play and should get a bow in front of the audience.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
