It was almost a year ago when the Orlando Shakespeare Theater was putting on a children’s production of The Secret Garden. Because of my vested interest in “the arts” (as well as my requirement to create a documentary for my cinematography class), I decided to interview Matthew “Matty” MacDermid, the Facilities Manager and Theatre for Young Audiences Stage Manager at the time, as well as the cast and crew of the show.

The YouTube Description: “Facilities Manager and Theatre for Young Audiences Stage Manager Matthew “Matty” MacDermid provides an in-depth look at the life behind the scenes at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater in film student Jesse Chapman’s latest documentary. Sure to be interesting for anyone who’s interested in theater, acting, or drama. Featuring Corey Loftus, Sam Stern, Erika Wilhite, Rachel Moll, Ben Cole, and Jennifer Drew.”

Be sure to leave a comment after you watch and either share some of your own theater experiences or comment on Matthews.
