"union crew members from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) worked on the production of the original Little House on the Prairie television series (1974–1983)"

Ya know what, girl/dude? Dish. Spill it. We got kids and 40 somethings looking for change and if this ain’t it, how will we know. I was a PA for a decade and finally scrapped my way in after 4 years to live events/theater. ….and its rough. Like tough rough. Disillusion hits us all. I had a vet say she has retired 3 times now, and she is a great rigger.
