The weekend was a success from a technical standpoint - there's still a lot of work to be done, but now everyone knows what works or how we have to fix it. Light cues will be changed and fine tuned, the microphones and sound cues will be adjusted, and there's a lot of painting and finishing of the set and props that still needs to be done. However, the staff and volunteers have a good handle on the workload and are tackling all of the challenges. We are so lucky to have hard working staff members and dedicated volunteers.
Normally, I would run the show twice on a Sunday afternoon before opening - once in the afternoon to review any blocking, music and choreography notes, and once at night for the tech work. However, this show is too long - and the vocal demands are too difficult - to ask the cast to perform twice in one day. Thus, we did a run through of Act One starting at 3 p.m., and broke for dinner around 5:15 p.m. and then started up with Act Two at 6:30 p.m. Everyone was out the door by 9 p.m. - this will be the only night that we get out at a decent hour. Tonight (Monday) is first dress rehearsal...
