I am currently in hell week for an HS production of Beauty and The Beast. I am the set designer (design authority limited by director), SM, and CC for this show. I'm looking for someone i can text with pictures of the set for some outside and experienced eyes and another opinion. This is my...

Working my first paid gig as a spot op and I was brought in by the ASM who is a good friend. On Monday of Hell week he told ops that we would be getting a cue sheet. Fine good. Today he tells us we aren't getting one. So naturally I start making my own notes (ASM agreed this was a good idea)...

Thanks J. That's great advice!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I'm not hourly so this isn't really an issue. Plus in this particular case I already no the unit I'm working with. Not to mention the SM hasn't made our cue sheets yet so we are just watching the the show this eveSent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

The only issue is that free VNC clients particularly tend to have a bit of lagSent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I don't truly see the advantage here, pardon me but it seems gimmicky. I'm happy with my Makita impact.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

Don't know if it's too late. But my theatre is in a school district all we do is call the local Fire Dept and have them put our system in "Test" the alarm will still go off but they won't respondSent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

Hey all, My high school is doing Les Mis this winter (I'm worried about the acting, but that's another story) and I am building sets for it. Our stage is approx 40' X 40' and we have little to no Wingspace. Any advice from those who have done the show?Sent from my Galaxy S3

Thanks! Those look great! I think I will use that designSent from my Galaxy S3

I actually had to go on the roof and do the best I could to black out the massive skylights in our shop. It also sucks because our theatre has terrible sightlines so if you sit in either far isle you can see right into the shop and black boxSent from my Galaxy S3

Wow you guys are truly lucky! I can't wait to work in a real theatre!Sent from my Galaxy S3
