DUET FOR ONE Begins!

Good Afternoon-

Let me begin by introducing myself for all of our MCT blog followers. I am Brandon Campbell and I will be assisting Brandy Kline, the production manager/company manager at MCT, throughout the run of DUET FOR ONE. My history with Milwaukee Chamber began in July, when I was away working at the Utah Shakespearean Festival, and I sent Brandy my resume with interest in working on Around the World in 8o Days! Before long I was apart of the production staff as the stage management intern taking care of the basic needs of the production as would an assistant stage manager. But I had the joy of being in costume and ‘performing’ on stage with the other actors and stagehands working the elephant, moving the trains, ships, and the infamous cap guns Western scene! After the show closed I decided to come back over my winter break from UW-Milwaukee, where I will be graduating in May with a theatre studies and business administration degree. I wanted to find what my future career goals could be and where my skills fit into the theatre management world. While working out these plans I found that production/company management followed by the goal of moving onto higher management is what I desire. So, we thought joining Brandy on DUET would be a wonderful way to observe and experience another professional opportunity.

I will continue to blog about my experiences throughout the rehearsal period of the production with my thoughts and observations for an ‘inside peak’ into the world of theatre most patrons do not get the opportunity to see!
