Take a break, say no to this, burn, we know
take a break: if you could run anywhere for a getaway, where would you go and who would you take with you?
I would go to the beach (obviously this would be in not-fall/winter) and I’d take the sin squad (aka my group of loser friends)
say no to this: what's your biggest guilty pleasure?
State Fair of Texas food. Literally everything is deep friend and literally all of it is delicious. The fair’s in my hometown, so all through school we’d get free tickets and a day off to go to the fair. I’ve had deep fried bacon, butter, bubblegum, pb&j, snickers, and many others. Plus corn dogs, which are basically the invention of Jesus
burn: talk about a time you've felt betrayed
uh this is part of a much longer story but in middle school i was being bullied really badly and a flute player I thought was my friend turned out to be the ringleader so that was yikes
we know: do you enjoy gossip?
Innocent gossip, yeah. Nothing that could ruin friendships or relationships or presidential candidacies, but stuff like who was at what party is fun

Any tips for someone putting together there first portfolio? I'm just going into my freshman year of college and haven't done anything professional if that makes a difference
In the words of howtogrowthefuckup, you’ve done it, you can use it. High school work, art projects, paper projects, awards, whatever.
The main thing is, make sure it’s coherent, clean and an honest reflection of you.
As an SM, I would usually do a page of photos that give a sense of scale and scope, and then accompanyng paperwork that I made, either run sheets or call script excerpts or what have you. If you had to make a really unique piece of paperwork for that show, include it. However, I’ve not really had a portfolio since I was required to do one for school. I see it more as a thing for designers and technicans. So their photos would include renderings, process photos of things being made, and then those things being worn/used onstage or specific lighting moments.
If you do a bunch of things, break it down by thing...all your scenic design stuff, then all your props stuff, then all your millinery work, what have you.
The point of a portfolio is to have it be the start of a conversation with someone who wants to hire you. They want to get to know you as a theatre artist, what your approach is, what you bring to the process. What you’re looking for is for someone to flip to a page of something, let’s say it’s a wing back chair you ripped apart, made the back taller and reupholstered it. So you’ve got maybe a sketch you made, process photos, and then the end result onstage. You could then talk about how the scenic designer and director wanted something inspired by Edward Gorey and for it to be really exaggerated, then you can talk about how you rebuilt the frame to accommodate that, how you chose the new stuffing, the challenges of reupholstering it, but then the pay off of seeing it as the focal point for the production. They wouldn’t get that from just seeing the photos and now they know more about you as an artist and technician.
Always remember to credit the photographers (if it’s not you), make sure you list the company, the production and the director, and the designer if you were working under someone.
It’s worthwhile to have an online version too...it’s cheaper than printing out photos, and you’re less limited on space. But there’s also benefits to a typical physical portfolio. If you can maintain both, do so.
Good luck!
