When Lynn first approached me to be the Property Manager over the summer while I was working at Artpark, I was terrified. I had absolutely no idea what I would be doing, and if I’d be able to do it. But thankfully I was able to put it out of my mind until the first week of classes, when I was giving my packet.
Now, at the end of the semester, I feel like I’ve been able to fulfill what was asked of me back in August. It took me a while to shake that fear which grounded me to the spot, and truth be told that fear is still there. But I’ve come to the realization that it’s better to press on and face it. We are after all, in an academic setting, and I’m fairly certain that no one in our theatre department wants to see us fail.
I am glad that I was asked to be the props manager this semester, and look foreword to my further involvement as TD on Forgiving John Lennon.
