I chose Mrs. Griffin, she is the Stage Design and Technical Theatre teacher. I chose her because she is such a great teacher. She knows how to teach her students about the shop and how to put the sets together and safely use all the tools. Mrs. Griffin has a cheerful spirit with her students, and loves to talk and joke with them.

Last year, my freshman year, Mrs. Griffin gave me the amazing opportunity to run the light board for our theatre. It’s so much fun getting to work with her. I’ve learned so much from her, about the shop and lighting. She’s taught me that in theatre we can have so much fun and joke around with each other, while still getting work done. We know how to work with each other well, so we can work through stressful situations together.

Mrs. Griffin has always been such a nice person, even before she was my teacher. Coming into Stagecraft Design my freshman year I was excited to get started, because I had talked with her over the previous summer about the class. She’s a teacher that understands, even if I’m stressed or I don’t understand something. Mrs. Griffin isn’t afraid to be straight forward with students, and tell them what to do in the shop, or if they are messing up. She always gives me the opportunity to work in the shop, and teaches me different things to improve my skills in the shop and lighting booth.

 

This photographer used side lighting. They only had the main light, no fill or back lights. The subject looks shy, but like she’s focused on something. She looks like she could be a dancer, deep in thought.
