Yes networking, that thing I was supposed to go to college for which doesn't really exist in a post-COVID worldA little luck? More like connections, networking, and a lot of luck.

I agree, but at the outset, one has to have a high degree of talent in a particular field. Oh, and an agreeable personality to make the connections and networking. Without that, you will need buckets and buckets of luck. With it, not so much.
I didn’t want to sound so dismissively calloused about the process in the first post of the thread. But yeah, A&D is 90% who you know.A little luck? More like connections, networking, and a lot of luck.
College actually doesn’t help much with networking.Yes networking, that thing I was supposed to go to college for which doesn't really exist in a post-COVID world
I agree but most of my parents' friends I talk to seem to think that is the reason to go to college.College actually doesn’t help much with networking.
Probably means more if you go to an 'elite' Ivy like private college than it does in public colleges or the less elite private colleges.I agree but most of my parents' friends I talk to seem to think that is the reason to go to college.
Yeah I’d argue connections and networking is #1.
That starts in finishing/high/prep school. My nephew got a scholarship to one and it paved the way to Dartmouth and BC, his father's alma maters. Now working for University of Pennsylvania. I went to his second (in ten days! - story!) wedding in Tulum and met people he went to school with, CIA and many government underling types, it is a networked environment to be sure.Probably means more if you go to an 'elite' Ivy like private college than it does in public colleges or the less elite private colleges.
So, they were all Greeks...I agree but most of my parents' friends I talk to seem to think that is the reason to go to college.
Yep. One reason the wealthy and powerful send their kids to certain schools. Connections and networking. But that's basically just those elite schools, and not the other 90 plus percent schools.That starts in finishing/high/prep school.

It’s basically a short story told in the second person. There will typically be some sort of chart for details about performers, effects, etc., but it starts with, “You approach a dilapidated building.”I don’t know if this is the place to put this (and apologies for necromancing this), but what exactly is the format of the standard HHN / haunt treatment? Is it akin to something like a movie script or completely different?

My treatments are written in the “HHN” style. During the rehearsals for Screamhouse, they read us the treatment so we understood our role in the context of the story. Because that’s what haunted houses are—stories that guests participate in.
And all the treatments I’ve seen from various haunts are based in that sort of style.
Or work for a third party. I've seen this work on a couple of instances. :ninja:A little luck? More like connections, networking, and a lot of luck.
