What type of skills will young Production Control Expediters need?
Anthony Guest: I don't think this will change much. They still need to be good actors, dancers, and singers. If anything, young actors are learning the art of the remote audition, and theatres may be more adept at accepting digital submissions. I also think theatre actors are learning more about film acting simply because of the digital medium we are teaching. Designers and technicians are probably being challenged more. Their work is in the three-dimensional world. Theoretical assignments and paper projects don't quite create the same satisfaction and experience as fully produced designs.
What experience really stands out on Production Control Expediter resumes?
Anthony Guest: I think after this is all over, theatre resumes will be riddled with "Covid Productions"-meaning shows that were produced remotely or outdoors and ten feet away; some in parking garages or other found spaces. We will all have a story to tell about how it shifted our outlook of the profession. If anything, it will start a conversation in the audition room, which may lead to the job.
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Production Control Expediters?
David McCoy Ph.D.: There will be a long-term impact of COVID-19 on college graduates, as they reshuffle their organizational skills and face a challenging job market. However, the transition to online community and communication during this period will merit a familiar association with new technology that could assist the professional phase of their lives.
