4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
The most important thing I gained from this experience was the importance of organization. In a theater that regularly puts on shows, it is easy to lose track of props and costumes, and this can become terrible if the props aren't yours or the show is about to start. After every show, we made sure every prop was labelled and put in their respective places and every costume was put away neatly to make everything easy to find and put less work on ourselves. Organizing all the cables around the building that were related to the lights and sound were also important to make sure everything technical would be working for the show.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.
My senior topic is going to be on theater technology. I originally wanted to commit to a topic related to the medical field, as that is the career I plan on going in, but I wanted to explore other possible topics as well as expand my skill set. Based on what I did this summer, I chose theater tech because I found it to be something I enjoyed, and I was able to find a mentor for it.
