This was a show in with the National Theatre for their Connections program. I was sound no. 2 but I also was the lighting assistant for the home performance. This was a performance by a selection of the youth theatre, at this point I was part of the Technical Youth Theatre at CFT and was offered to assist with the show. I helped a little with props but this was before I fully understood the role of stage management. As sound no. 2 I made sure the radio mics were with the right people during the show. We got through to perform at the National Theatre however I wasn't able to go, this was because they could only take 2 crew members with them and that was the SM and the Sound Op. This was at the very beginning of Tech Youth Theatre so I was still learning lots of new things.
