It's the end of fall break, and we're one week closer to opening night!
This week I read about Running Technical Rehearsal and Running the Show. These are the areas where the stage manager really takes the reins of the show. Tech Rehearsal is an important time at which the cast's hard work comes together with the hard work of the crew. Technical elements are laid in and perfected so the final show can look and sound its best. I also read about running the show, which for me will consist mostly of calling cues for lighting and sound effects. It's important for the stage manager to pay attention to the show so these cues can go as planned, making the show the best that it can be.
This week in technical work, the set crew finished constructing the ramp which is the main feature of the set. It is really great to have the ramp and stairs in practice now and the cast are making great use of it. I also designed the tickets we will use for all of our shows, and they will hopefully be printed tomorrow when school resumes.
See you next week!
Yay for ticket printing! We need to look at light cues. Let's talk with Whitney about indicating lighting moments in the play. I don't think were doing blackouts btwn scenes, but definitely will have transition lights.
