During Disney's Newsies, one of my main duties was to set up the orchestra every performance as well as striking the orchestra after every performance. Due to Porthouse being an outdoor theatre, we could not leave the microphones and equipment sitting outside every night. So when the performance was over I would move the microphones, leftover equipment, and digital snakes into one of the dressing rooms.
