Standby, Tech Week… Tech Week, GO!

First of all, thanks to everyone who attended the open rehearsal yesterday! You asked some great questions and we hope you will be able to join us to watch the full production.

On Friday we made the move from the rehearsal hall down to the Začek-McVay Theatre.

Tuesday marks the beginning of tech week, where we will incorporate the elements of scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound into the staging. Actress Cheryl Lynn Bruce remarked, “I love tech… you just have to give everything over to the magicians and see what they pull out of their bag of tricks.” Here is what tech looks like, from the magicians’ point of view:

The light board.

Things will really be coming together over the next few days – you can look forward to more photos and guest bloggers!
