My director - EXCELLENT ACTOR , a drunk and a man who can direct and also knows the basics of tech'n.
However the Musical Director, is a twat. He knows absolutely nothing apart from how to blow a trumpet.
the director tells the cast to shut up during the tech when im programming the
desk and the lights go out - he has to explain to the cast that it isnt a power cut, its that we are programming.
However the musical director joins in with the cast and starts shouting 'why have the lights gone out'.
Also The Musical Director belieived that we did not need to
go up the rig to move any lights for Sweeney Todd (the show at the time) because he thought the lights from the last show (A rock show) would be adequete. The
gel arrangement was somethng like 2red 2 white 2 blue a strobe and a smoke whereas we needed something a hell of a lot differant from this
The Director soon put the musical director in his place
