What do you do when you get a call from a friend/work colleague who says “Hey, do you wanna work the Superbowl?”…you say YES!! I’ve always dreamed about working on some of the most prestigious events out there. The Superbowl, The Grammys, The Oscars, The James Beard Awards…I mean, who wouldn’t? Any one who works in live event production aspire to be a part of these amazing productions. The backdrops, the stages, the celebrities, the food, the consumer experience…it’s something that just gives event producers a huge adrenaline rush.
So, when I got this random text and phone call, I was truly blown away. My role for the 2020 bowl was Stage Manager at one of the pre-game stages. In the grand scheme of things, the role I played may have been small, but for me it was an opportunity of a lifetime. The energy that filled the stadium was something I hadn’t experienced before and the production quality was just inspiring. These small snippets of the day are a fraction of what I was able to witness, but an experience I am so grateful for and one that makes me realize that dreams do come true and no matter who you are or where you are from, the right doors will open for you as long as you are open to receiving the call!
