Prairie Home ProductionsProduction Assistant
Jan. 2004 - Dec. 2007As a production assistant, I had a variety of responsibilities. Sure, that sounds like a copout description, but anybody who has worked in the entertainment industry will understand. I created and maintained the show's merchandise inventory. Sometimes I sold that merch at the shows. When I toured with the show, I was the all-around gopher. If Fred needed a ring of keys for a sound effect, I went key hunting. If Rich needed a vegan meal, I found him something to eat. Whatever was needed, I figured out a way to get it. I also took a lot of photos too, which was really fun. The best, but definitely the most exhausting, part of working for Prairie Home was the opportunity to work on the cruises. I was fortunate to work on 4 of the Prairie Home cruises. Great crew, great fans. Couldn't ask for more.
