Rocky Horror tech rehearsal

We've moved the show down to the Yucca Theatre, and we're getting ready to open on Friday, April 23rd. This past week, we adjusted the show to the Yucca stage and the set pieces - many thanks to all the great volunteers who helped the staff to load-in the set pieces on April 10th. Last night (Friday), we ran through the whole show and had some dressers and other crew members watch the show to get a feel for how their involvement will affect the performance. After the run through, a group of us ran over to Odessa to perform "The Time Warp" at Sin Citi and pass out flyers to encourage people to attend the show. It was fun to perform in front of an enthusiastic nightclub!!

Today (Saturday) we have dry tech this morning where we will work on set, light and sound issues. This afternoon, we'll add the microphones to the actors and run a technical rehearsal with lights, sound and set changes. This is where we add our technical volunteers - the Assistant Stage Managers work backstage, the light and sound board operators learn their role, the set crew learns their moves and the props are in place backstage. Tomorrow (Sunday), we'll have an actor rehearsal in the afternoon and then another tech rehearsal in the evening. Starting on Monday, we'll add costumes to the show, then add hair and makeup on Tuesday night. We'll continue dress rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for our opening on Friday, April 23rd.
