A Day In The Life...

Most people have no idea what a production assistant would do in a typical day on the road. My schedule loosely is as follows:

7am : wake up and get ready. 

8am : walk through venue, determine who gets which rooms and hang room signs, directional signs, schedules, wifi access and any other signs that may be needed.

9am : set up the production office. This includes road cases, printers, radios, office supplies, a candle, passes and comp ticket box. 

11am : get comp tickets and make sure the rooms are getting set up properly. 

1pm : put ice on all of the buses. 

1:30pm : sort comp tickets and passes for guests. 

4:30pm : make sure the tickets and passes are at the box office. 

5pm : attend to any last minute ticketing issues. 

7pm : stock buses with food and drink. 

8pm : start packing things up and get ready to leave. 

9pm : ice busses again. 

11pm : distribute after show food. 

12am : break down all rooms and collect all room signs. 

1pm : collect everyones dirty towels. 

2pm : busses roll out!  

Notice in there that there is not scheduled times to eat. Eating is not a priority and only gets done when/if time is made for it.
