Last time you were in the theater...

I was there an hour ago. January is the slow time of the season. Doing lots of cleaning/throwing stuff out. Music festivals coming up in a couple of weeks.

Started getting ready for Winter Play, Musical Comedy Murders of 1940...

Oh, dear... they have to build a revolving book case and a sliding book case. This is going to get ugly. Very ugly.

We did that. It ended up being my favorite show I've ever worked on-- the set was awesome. Revolving/sliding wasn't fun to build, but looked really, really cool once it was in place.

We did a production of "Clue" (the musical) and did the same thing. Things were fine until they decided they wanted the actors to enter on the revolves along with the set pieces.... (!ZOMG! the turntable broke!)

Also a slow time here before the musical season ramps up. I spent the better part of the night on the Genie pulling 2500 feet of Cat 6 cable from backstage to the booth.

Well... I ran our projector and sound stuff so my English class could watch a production of The Glass Menagerie. As soon as that was up and running, I wondered why the head sound tech gelled our booth lights red since they're normally blue and now much brighter. Then I took a nap next to the Sound Rack.

After that was done, I took some pictures of the theatre to include in my senior project since nobody will understand any of my technical jargon. Bleh.

We installed a 30' revolve and tested it. It took a bit of tweaking before we could get the chain tensioned properly. I had a minor brain fart and ALMOST installed the wrong gear on the motor. We began to build the sorround as well.

I got drafted to help get the set for our next show out of the truck and into the theatre. In the cold. And the snow. Then spent the afternoon in the basement, digging for pipe and platforms in the storage spaces.

I was just in the theatre doing light focus. The show is going into Tech week tomorrow, but I'm not involved- I was just there for the hang and focus.

Right now! I'm in intermission waiting for the Alberta Country Legends concert to resume. Have you ever done a show that you don't need to do anything for? I think i changed the lights 4 times in the first half... I'll see how many I need to do in the second. lol.
