  • The typical and abnormal things I did while running the lights for this years musical: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat!
    Sorry for the general bad quality, I was trying to film this whilst doing all of my regular duties thus making it hard to spend a lot of time making each shot perfect.

    Hey high school Faith.
    You're now a Production Manager on one of the biggest Christian Tours in the USA. You're living on a tour bus all around the continent and get to run sound lighting and video for a full show. Don't worry though, you're still an awkward dork that people somehow love, including an incredible crew and cast. Across the country you've gotten to meet tons of amazing fellow mermaids and see how your videos impact them. That lifeguarding job you got as Joseph was happening now includes a wonderful and supportive boyfriend. You get to make the tech things happen with more equipment and more responsibility. There are people that you get to train and collaborate with and some of the best you get to learn from. Summit gave you some education but more importantly some amazing friends that care for your best interests. The world is so much bigger than that small theater but your booth is smaller! So yeah, you're going to do more things like this is the future, you just have no idea how much you're capable of.
    Love,
    20 year old Faith
