Hey women in tech theatre,

backstageleft:

If we ever work together, and some dude has told you he’s not going to teach you something because you’re a lady, you come straight to me because I’m going to teach you. If some co-worker of yours is not respecting your boundaries and making comments about how you can’t possibly be as good at your job as a man, you come to me and I will go with you to his supervisor. 

I will be there to stand beside you. You can absolutely count on that. 

Because I’ve seen too much of this bullshit and it’s become apparent that it won’t end unless we are actively and aggressively supporting women in our industry, especially those in male dominated fields like scenic carpentry. 

I’m tired of it. I am determined to try to change it. And I’ll do it one woman at a time if I have to.
