Ashleigh Poteat replied to Kim A. Tolman's discussion HELP! Need to apply 3D texture to clear, smooth acrylic groundrow in the group Technical Direction"Definitely the glue will give you a good feel for that. I'm just a die hard sculpt-or-coat fan! I think that the coat - or the crystal gel - will probably let you build up a bit more and maintain a certain amount of translucency than the glue…"
Ashleigh Poteat replied to Kim A. Tolman's discussion HELP! Need to apply 3D texture to clear, smooth acrylic groundrow in the group Technical Direction"Have you ever used Sculpt-or-Coat? It's an artist choice product that is very useful for coating foam, but also really great for doing texture effects. The finish is fairly matte, and will be just a touch opaque."
Ashleigh Poteat replied to AJ Garrigus's discussion Making it Rain Outdoors"My first thought: is it too late to do a different show?
Without any position to hang anything from, it sounds like sound and lighting might be your best bet."
Ashleigh Poteat replied to Brian's discussion Job seeking"As suggested, summer stock is a great way to get started with experience and contact in this business. As also stated, it's a bit late for that this year. However, a lot of regional theatres are currently looking for interns for their upcoming…"
Ashleigh Poteat commented on Richelle Thompson's blog post "Commercial" Theatre"I was about to comment, and saw that Phillip beat me to it: the simple fact is, Shakespeare was - and I would argue, to a degree, still IS - commercial theatre. He was writing for the lowest common denominator, in a lot of instances, but he was able…"
Ashleigh Poteat commented on Jacob Coakley's blog post Photo of the Week - July 11, 2011"Jacob,
Thanks for the great, er photo review!
This production was last month at the Forestburgh Playhouse, a 60 year old summer stock 90 miles outside of New York City. I was the costume designer for this play, and it was a wonderful…"
Ashleigh Poteat commented on Rich Dionne's blog post Safety First?"I agree with what you've both said, but I guess my main point was that the culture of "that's the shop's job, that's the shop's fault" is the one I'm trying to point out and discuss.
I think that too many…"
Ashleigh Poteat commented on Rich Dionne's blog post Safety First?"I think another element to this, which you hinted at with your "set designer/director/crazy-fool-who-wants-what" is that the relationship between the Technical Director and the other designers (and sometimes the director) can rapidly…"

"Hey! You forgot Props Master: Me!
I signed on tonight and was like "this looks so familiar....""
Ashleigh Poteat replied to Rose Brandl's discussion Tatoos"Hm, not sure if you've already opened or not!
Ben Nye makes a great concealer wheel designed specifically for tattoo coverage. You can order it online through any theatrical makeup supplier and if you live in a large enough city you…"
Ashleigh Poteat replied to Candyce Iseminger's discussion LGBT in Contemporary Theatre"I'm pretty positive that you in no way want to go this direction, but Artaud was a fan of transgender casting. Try reading The Theatre and Its Double.
Again, I don't know if that will take you on a helpful journey - it being Theatre of…"

"I THOUGHT this looked familiar. Please put up more photos! I looked at them on Facebook and it looks like it was a very nice show"
Ashleigh Poteat replied to Kristine Kerr's discussion Lamb for "Curse of the Starving Class" in the group Scenery and Props"As a rule, if you can avoid using real animals onstage... you should. Not only do you not know how to care for the animal OFFSTAGE (and woe to you should any animal lovers find out that you housed it or fed it wrong) but how can you manage it…"
