Hurry Up, Father Christmas was an interactive and immersive family show which took place in the Burton Taylor Studio in Oxford. One of my proudest accomplishments on this project was tackling the challenges of simultaneously operating lighting & sound cues along with onstage cues. As a "very involved tech elf," I was integral to the action throughout the play, and was able to troubleshoot any challenges as they occurred.
