small things must be to fit into a given space. Lots of numbers are thrown around, and if one thing goes wrong, it takes a cool head in the heat of stress to see through and fix it easily. Junior year, during festival we performed the play Epic Proportions. In the beginning the tech crew had to move the set onto the stage.
