Sweeney Todd
This past weekend we had tech! Sunday was first Dress, and tonight, Monday night, is final Dress. Here are some photos from Friday afternoon through the weekend.
The pie shop second act counter, with cask:
Students installing the pie shop shelves:
Some of the posters that will appear all over the stage:
TA Joe leading students in raising Pirelli’s wagon after attaching the flat to the platforming:
Getting reading to practice the trap door business:

ASMs under the platforming, waiting to catch actors as they come down the slide (engineered by TD Steve Chene). Safe as possible, and works like a charm!
Stage manager Allison, calling the show during one of the runs this weekend:
And a shot of the stage as Toby begins to play barker:
My personal moment of triumph was discovering that I could use sea sponges instead of springs to allow the harmonium pedals to be pumped after I detached them from the bellows! Yay, low tech!
