Hey, I thought we could share pictures of our shows...

The best kind! I'll bet the show was well worth sticking around, minding the lights and all...
 
Here you go guys. The show is A Murder, A Mystery, and A Marriage based on a short story by Mark Twain.

The setup was an Expression 3 for control, 288 ETC Sensor Dimmers, 59 ETC Source4 ERS, 45 ETC Surce4 PARs, 2 MR16 Strips, 6 8" Strand Fresnels with Wybron Forerunner Color Scrollers, 6 Source4 90 Degree units with Seachangers, 4 VL2500 moving heads.

Arranged with 15 areas (5x3) warm and cool front light, a template "wash", 6 specials, two tops (peach and blue), a back wash in purple, with a 6 area back wash with scrollers, CMY cyc wash (with 90 degree Source 4's), and strip light high side light. The VL2500's are hung spaced across center.

The focus was not my favorite (the front wash was all over the cyc, the high sides spilled a little too much, the back and top light were almost the same thing, and the template wash was anything but), but you go with what you have, it was the house plot focus (they couldn't pay to have the plot refocused).

I was NOT a fan of the scenic design but the direction and the choreography (especially the choreography) were awesome.

Total cues: 144
Total running time: 1 hour 37 minutes

So here are my pics.

Just got back from a show at a local university. They were attempting to set the world record for number of people playing air guitar. They didn't quite make it, but it was interesting watching the air guitar "instructor." We provided 60 feet of truss, 9x12 screens (rear projected), camera for I-Mag, QSC line array. The light rig (which I own) consists of 12 500w Par64's for the stage, 4 500w P64's for audience lighting, 4 Mac250's, 4 MegaPixels on the truss (2 for audience effects, 2 for stage wash), and 4 MegaPixels on stands upstage for effects lighting.

Did a show a week or two ago called Rock Challenge - a dance show with various schools from various counties taking part. Rules are very strict this year and lighting can only be rather basic - you have to tell the operator what you want (maximum of 15 cues) and he'll attempt to do that.

Each performance can only last 8 minutes and ours was based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (though the crew decided to start calling it 'And The Chocolate Factory' seeing as the person who played Charlie missed a rehearsal).

We got the awards for best soundtrack and best costume and came second overall (out of 12 schools). I was on followspot for the performance.

EDIT: I should also add that this was a tech rehearsal and there was no costume or make-up at this point :)

Sounds sort of like UIL One Act Play here in Texas.

Second Bloom

I primarily do concert type stuff, but recently had the chance to settle down with some conventionals and a little theatre again (and REAL SETS!).

Conventional rig, house hang for the most part, with a few specials (surprise pink tops) and other stuff thrown in.

Also had the benefit of having a real photographer shoot the pictures.

The story follows Donna and her daughter through end of life issues - it's a combination of her last days at home with hospice workers and flashbacks of her life with her daughter. Made me remember why I love theatre in the first place.

Temptation, A Live Theater Show, opens every Saturday night and Passion Theater at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

“I generally avoid Temptation. Unless I can’t resist it.”
-Mae West

From the lace-lined stages of 19th century Paris, where artists used to hang their hats and lovely ladies kicked-up their heels; to the streets of Chicago, where prohibition was ignored in jazzy joints that looped rings of song and smoke around your dizzy head and ankles – Cabaret, in its true form, has finally reached South Florida. TEMPTATION is such a performance. In it, acclaimed Choreographer Kalyn James has managed to bring the age-old art of Cabaret to meet the contemporary language of dance. Here, professionally trained dancers, who have toured the stages of the world – from Europe to Africa; Polynesia to the Caribbean – perform a Variety Show full of both sensuality and sophistication. Each an icon of strength and femininity in her own right, these seasoned dancers will entrance you, one by one. Introduced, in bits and pieces, by a Master of Ceremonies, TEMPTATION also has a story to tell, which unravels, peeling off one layer at a time, as the night goes on. A show that is sure to please both men and women; it is also sure to offer a bounty of Beauty and Mystery. And who doesn’t want a little bit of that in their lives.

Oh, my. That's quite a ... show ... you've got there, Jon.
 
Re: Second Bloom

That's a nice show, Ice Wolf. I'm sometimes wishing I had a nice wood floor to shine some gobos and color washes off. That one takes well, not too shiny and reflective yet still shows some depth. Was that part of the set or just the stage floor in that theatre?

But then again, there are advantages to matte(ish) black, too. It's nice to have things disappear sometimes.
