You Think You're So Smart tech person needed

Post by Justin D. »

Intelligent, quick-witted, and charming. Dumb, silly, and potentially offensive. Both statements equally define new comedy panel show You Think You’re So Smart that’s coming to The Institution Theater in September that shares traits with British TV favorites Qi, Would I Lie To You?, and Mock the Week.

Every Friday, from September 6 – 27 at The Institution Theater, You Think You’re So Smart show creator Justin Davis will mediate a panel of smart people and smart alecks as they take on a wide expanse of topics that range from cosmic quandaries to the more Earth-bound fare of losers made good. This weekly show seeks to challenge panelists’ wits while entertaining and educating its audience. Because the majority of the panel will be made up of Austin’s comedians, occasional droll questions and the liberal display of faking it isn't just permitted, but encouraged. A show with a segment called Ranter’s Corner, where a different pre-determined panelist each week has uninterrupted time to rant on a chosen topic, understands the pure humor found in a well-turned phrase.

During the four-week run of You Think You’re So Smart, host Justin Davis will be joined by six panelists pulled from an impressive line-up consisting of: Mary Jo Pehl, Suzy Spencer, Asaf Ronen, Kareem Badr, John Ratliff, Aaron Saenz, Peter Rogers, Mia Iseman, Valerie Ward, Brett Tribe, Maggie Maye, Robert Faires, Andrew Buck, and Tom Booker.

Okay, that's the basic spiel for the show. Now, I had a tech person lined up, but it turns out that person is ridiculously busy with onstage and offstage responsibilities. So, I'm putting out the call here for anyone who wants to do tech for this show. It's a fairly simple role as the show will have an outline to follow each week and you'll be in regular contact with me on stage by using Gmail Chat. Most of the lighting duties will consist of cuing up images and videos to play on the projector and basic lighting, such as dimming stage lights and using a spotlight for the Ranter's Corner segment. If you think like this sounds like something you're up for, let me know at Mr.JustinDavis (at) Gmail.com or here in this thread.

Thanks.

Hi Justin,

I can tech your show for every night, but on Sept. 6. Let me know if this will work for you or not, but I'm happy to help you out on the nights I'm available.
