Good Work, Part II

Saturday was another detailed work session, followed by reworking the lights. Spanky was great, Arryck was great, Erin & Sara were great, Lori Lee was great, and Rudy was a no-show. I'd give details, but it's more of the same as last time: character suggestions, run important scenes, yadda yadda yadda.

Lights are all set, I just have to add a red lamp to one of the PARs in the back and mask the SL special a bit. I spent Sunday and Monday at home finishing up the menhirs.

Tonight starts off with choreography and then a run-through, followed most probably by me setting the PRESETs and maybe a few CHASEs in preparation for setting up SCENEs. Those are capitalized because they are each the atomic elements used within the Show Designer controller, and I had to re-learn how I think about control boards. This show is less about sliders and X/Y crossfades and more about scene setting and cueing from a scenic standpoint.

Tom called this morning and left me a message, concerned that I'm taking on too much. I'm way beyond too much, honestly, but I'm nowhere near flame-out mode. The props are done. The masks are mostly done. The cast is handling their costumes. The set items are mostly done, and I will finish them before the weekend. So, I'm actually pretty set.
