I was a kid and was working in a 2200 seat theatre... it was huge; there was only one security guard at the stage door. Naturally I went to explore with my colleague and heard footsteps from the top floor. We didn’t think much of it so we just kept on taking pictures for the gram sitting on the 3rd floor balcony and felt really warm, and the air conditioning is on 24/7 so we were wtf. We went to sit at a colder seating area where the air conditioning blows to, and suddenly we felt super warm again. We saw a woman’s shadow from the stage casted from the ghostlight. We just clapped to give respect and walked out....

Could you do a video on blocking notes? I’m a high schooler planning on pursuing stage management professionally, and I haven’t yet figured out a good system for blocking notes

Yes! I teach HS, so the videos I'm uploading mostly have to do with my classes (and it's remote right now, so FOR the classes as well) - and I can only make so many in a week, BUT I should be getting to a Blocking Notes video very soon!

Hahaha that is so American 😅 In Germany you would get your ass kicked for even trying to sue for something like this 🤣 But you do have the right to do so but you would not win the case 😂 That is just darn outrageous...
