Mentorship Log

Literal (Need to know):

• Are there any R.O.P classes for Theater Tech?
• How many hours do people who do this as a career do?
• What colleges offer a course on Theater Tech?
• Does Theater Tech differ from the tech people that do movies?

Interpretive:

• The most important thing that I gained from this experience is knowledge of what it really takes to be in Theater Tech. I never really thought that it takes so much time and physical work to be a Theater Techie. I also learned a lot about techniques for building things that I didn’t know about and how those tips can make building so much easier.

Applied:

• This summer service learning helped me pick a topic because it showed me whether or not I really liked the topic of my choice. After completing the hours, I noticed that Theater Tech is something I look forward too, and that I really don’t feel the hours that I am working because I’m enjoying what I am doing.
