It is very helpful (but not required) for you also to be able to attend the rehearsals earlier in the evening.

The Lighting Assistant works with the LD, the Board Operator, and the Stage Manager to record all of the lighting details, make sure lighting cues are recorded and hit, and cover anything lighting realted that we've missed.

The shift is scheduled from Doors open (7:30pm) until half an hour after the show is scheduled to end, but you're likely done when the show is over.
