Today was tech day at the theater. We started at 2:00pm and were finished by 5:45pm. This was almost miraculous and may have actually been a minor miracle. I've know tech Sundays (and it's always a Sunday afternoon) to run 'til 9:00pm and later. It's really interesting. This was our first time to rehearse on the actual stage and to hear and see all the special effects. While we in the cast have been rehearsing in a large room near the stage, technical gurus have been designing, building and painting the set, figuring out the correct lighting and light changes thru the whole show, and putting the sound effects in all the right places. The sound effects are particularly fun in this show because there are some scenes where lots of fireworks are going off out of sight. Happily, in one scene, the sounds of explosions pretty much drown out my solo. This is a good thing.
