Finborough Theatre, Earl's Court (27th January-22nd February) - Get In and Get Out of Carthage and Domino Heart.

I was selected alongside several others to become a Production intern at the Finborough Theatre in Earl's Court from the end of January to the end of February. Because there were several interns that were hired at the same time, the days that I was called into placement were categorised into 'shifts' which were 12-5 or 5-finish. If I worked during the 12-5 shift, I would be apart of the box office team for the matinee performance. If I worked during the 5-finish shift, I would work on the evening performance.

I had attended days at the theatre before my shifts had even started to help with the refurbishment of the theatre, which mainly included clearing out the paint cupboard and re painting the inside of it, and helping with the clear out of old props and set from previous shows. I was also present for the Get In and Get Out of the show Carthage which started on the weekend of Saturday 25th January. I was an intern at the Finborough throughout the run of Carthage which ended on Saturday 22nd February.

The following pictures were taken on the day of the Get In for Carthage and Domino Heart as they shared the same set:

 

                                                                                
                                                                                     

My main job was to paint the floor and the side boards yellow which was soon to be part of the set for Carthage and Domino Heart (2nd-18th February) as both shows ran at the same time. Other minor jobs included ensuring the theatre was cleared before and after the Get In. 

On February 22nd 2014 I was present for the Get Out of Carthage. It started at 9.30pm and went on to past midnight. I assisted the lighting team by helping them load the lights and the cables into separate boxes, alongside clearing out the dressing room after the performance. I also helped move and load the set from the theatre, which included tables, bars, lights and chairs down to the vans provided by the director.
