Those aprons are fabulous if you are working as a dresser because they have DEEP pockets!<br><br>ALSO don?t let age or a ?big name? intimidate you. We?re all tech lovers there and you?ll find you have a lot in common with everyone you meet, even if they did write your text book or design your favorite show. Bring business cards with a non-school but still professional email address - you can print your own on stationery from the local office supply store or get some from one of the online printers. If you are job hunting, bring resumes. Wear comfy shoes, bring a refillable water bottle and some snacks as there?s no defined time for meals. And leave space in your luggage to take home swag. I look forward to meeting you! Here?s what I look like: Theater Health And Safety ?
