If Everything Depends on You, That’s a Problem
Church Production Magazine: Legacy is one of those words we often make too complicated because of the weight it carries. We often wonder what our legacy will be and attach it to public accomplishments, career milestones, and the dedication we have shown to our jobs. We talk about legacy as if it is reserved for the end of a long career, measured by plaques on walls or the memories people hold after we are gone.

I found that this article resonates with my and my experience doing theatre in high school. Starting my sophomore year I found myself in charge of the lighting more often than not. Through this time I picked up on the basics and solutions to problems that often came up in that venue. Often problems that were relatively simple but made me break my routine once a year or so. At first I took pride in my knowledge of the venue and the ease in problem solving that came with it. However as graduation drew near and I knew that someone else would soon need to take over I realized that too often I only taught the routine when showing people how to work with our lighting system because if something out of the ordinary were to happen I would just fix it myself. After all, one off solutions were so enticing because teaching others how to do something would sometimes take longer than just doing it. Luckily in the case of educational theatre you have a strong idea when you will move on from your current position but in the real world there's less guarantee to your tenure at any organization so it is important to work with the people around you.
