I wish I actually blogged more about it, but I just never got around to it.
Overall, this wasn't the experience I thought it'd be. From the days I wish I didn't have to go to the long tech nights, I won't forget this experience. I could spend hours saying "it would've been better if..." but what's done is done.
I've learned a lot this whole play. I've learned what it takes, difference between a bad and good stage

I personally didn't know. The only other times I ASM'd before were for fairly small shows which didn't call for a lot of work. Essentially, she is screwing up so far because we have been doing
