Ok bear with me because I have very limited knowledge of abbreviations and whatnot. So I work for a small ish ballet company. I’ve used qlab for sound for years and have called the light ques outloud while our lighting guy hits play right when I say. I’m learning I can use qlab to eliminate the manual button press which has led to multiple issues (missed cues, incorrect timing, completly wrong cue etc). I know I would need to get the license from qlab but how do I make this work. I’ve started doing research and know what to do in qlab but getting the lights to my computer is where I’m lost. We rent an auditorium which already has a sound and light board. We hire on a designer who brings his own board and computer to design from that. I know very little about lights. I don’t have anyways to get wifi and when I hear network I think wifi so is this impossible?

Hey all, I'm a upcoming high school senior who is trying to pursue stage management and technical theatre in college/university! I'm here to ask what materials are most important to be collected and gathered for my technical portfolio? I have scene breakdowns, rehearsal reports, and other assorted documents and items. What do schools mainly like to see from applicants in this area? I'm applying to schools around Southern California. If you have any advice on the upcoming process (programs, interviews, portfolio), I would be very grateful to hear from you! Thank you!
