Tech Begins

Heading back from the weekend away. Excited to get to tech. Tomorrow is a ten out of twelve. Dinner, provided, lasts from 5-7.



I've never been very good at keeping my journal - let alone a blog - when it comes time for tech. I guess that in some ways is when the greatest mental energy is exerted in a way. So maybe I just get zonkered.



Concerns for tomorrow:

1) The top of the play. How to get the fellas into position.

2) Switching from rhearsal props to regular. We have a ton of things for the fellas to do at the tea room: fold napkins,

3) Haven't worked with lighting designer stuart duke. We'll have to find our rhythm. But I know he's lit this show before - so unless he has some radical ideas we should be ok.

4) Sound of rain. I don't want it to overwhelm our chums.

5) The rain and the sink. Let's pray that stuff works for real and doesn't make too much noise

6) The actors' voices. Will we understand em?

7) Will the costumes be too hot - particularly for guiesseppe.

8) The chairs that are set up downstage: will they screw up the sightlines?

9) Wendell and the floor. How's that gonna go?

10) The actors having two days without me. That's gonna be fine.

These are the main concerns tonight
