Production 101: The Four Tops
About this project
Perhaps a bit of an older ‘experience’, but all the more worth talking about: I think my Motown tours have made me into the professional I am today, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
Between 2013 and 2016 I went on a number of European tours and runs with Motown legends The Four Tops. First as a stage manager in Chicago in 2013, straight through the holidays at Mary Wilson’s Holiday Spectacular at the Harris Theatre, right in the middle of Millennium Park. Then, I joined the 2014 and 2016 tours through Europe and the UK as well as their 2015 Christmas Tree Lighting performance in Detroit. First, as a production assistant working for Fred Bridges, and later as a wardrobe manager.
I do hope that one day, we get to hit the road again together. I am sure that we will meet again, though, that’s for sure.
