So, I'm a lighting designer who was asked to be a sound tech for our current show, and I'm kind of at a loss. I know how to run everything, but I have a question. We are running Thoroughly Modern Millie, but our Millie is kind of a weak singer. For Gimme Gimme, there's that boost in strength...

Ha. I knew that one. I don't feel quite as lost now...

No, I'm still here. Got lost a while back, but still here.

It's all more than normal, but I think we'll live.

Well... that's amazing. But I would prefer to keep my thumbs in tact, if you don't mind.

Wow. I feel special. And now it's at four pages... But, on the subject of metrics, they make a hell of a lot of sense. Any idiot can use them. Why did we switch in the first place?

Of course. Sounds...interesting. And you all just met randomly here, or do you really know each other?

No, I work in two theatres. This is a new, community theatre. The other one is a school theatre. But I just found out that the new theatre is just cutting lights for the first show. They are not doing anything. I'm not sure how that is going to work, but I got a call today, saying that they...

Actually, I'm finding this quite entertaining. Is it always like this?

So, here's what I'm understanding that I need. -A decent board. About $1500 -A few Source 4s -A bunch of Pars -A couple Fresnels -Necessary gels.barn doors, top hats, ect. -A ton of cabling (preferably rented) -Two 4 channel dimmer packs Rent a lot, and find good, but used...

Stage dimensions-40 ft. width, 30 ft. depth Audience size- 50 ft width, 30 ft. depth Grid height-30 ft. one cat, two electrics, plus a third electric for cyc lights. By no equiptment, from what I understand, means nothing. They don't have dimmers, they don't have cable. They have nothing...

We did this thing in my theatre, but it was with different material. I'm not sure exactly how it will work with yours. But ehre's what we did. We took the fabric, and twisted it. Then, we soaked it, twisted, in hot water, and then let it dry out twisted. Then, we unfolded it, and twisted it...

Hm... I hadn't thought of borrowing anything. There's nothing around here, but I guess I can go out of town... It's a good thought. As to the theatre, it is in the last stages of construction, but we are not allowed in until the construction is done. I've had all of my meetings and such over...

Okay, so I have another question. I start a job in a week at a new theatre downtown, called Gunthrie. I'm the first lighting designer that they have. They have no equiptment what-so-ever. I was told that I'm getting a budget, and that I get to supply the theatre with everything they need. At...

So, I've been here about two weeks already, but, hey, I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm Katie. I've been involved with lights for 9 or 10 years now, and am now the lighting designer at my high school. I've been doing that for two years, and I'm onto my last. This year, I am also the...
