1.What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?
- The three that were most helpful for me were one really good one, one really bad one and one that was mediocre. The really great one that I saw was actually about a boring topic, but she made it very engaging and fun to watch. This one showed me the potential that a senior project has. The really bad one showed me what not to do. It was really bad. Then, the mediocre one showed me a good activity and gave me ideas for my own project.
2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?
- One thing I learned from interviewing a senior was that the project doesn't have to be miserable. If you make it fun, then it will be fun. The senior I interviewed told me that no matter the topic, if you engage the audience it will go well.
3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?
- I am most likely going to choose theatre management as my topic because I have been doing that for 2 years and it is a passion of mine. I don't think I will get bored of it and my mentorship will give me more skills to apply to my stage managing in drama.
4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).
- What is the best way a stage manager can make a show run as smooth as possible.
5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?
- I spoke to Hannah Tran who did technical theatre as her senior project and she said she did a mentorship at citrus college. I think that citrus college is a great place to mentor because they have a great theatre program and I can get some skills out of it. But for during the summer, I think Im going to mentor at the Chino Play house. They do summer plays that I can get involved with.
