Another dress rehearsal last night.
Here’s guest lighting designer Tom Littrell and student board op Alexa watching the actors work a moment before things get rolling:
Brother and Sister in the garden:
A song about Mister Right:
And a bit of thinkfast shenanigans:
Final dress tonight, and opening tomorrow morning with the student matinee!
The scenic painting seminar students just turned in their first major assignment, Lining a Lichtenstein. It’s all about color matching, image transfer, and using a lining stick. They done good!
We are heading into tech week for “Triumph of Love.” Closer and closer to being done, but still a lot to accomplish before final dress Monday night.
Here’s David, one of the cast members, explaining to some Intro to Theatre students how to cover a flat with muslin:
Two of the wing flats laid out in the shop, just before I paint the quoins on them. Also the columns, waiting to be primed.
After priming, basing, and then some marbling.
Here’s our TD, Ruth, blurrily supervising the installation of the columns.
And the completed colonnade, with ME Abby standing downstage doing some electrics supervising.
Prepping for first tech, here’s one of the sound operators, Owen, working through mic check.
And before we get rolling, a view from behind the tech table. On the left, there’s our student SM Sami, in the middle, guest lighting designer Tom Littrell, and the light board operator Alexa.
And finally, a shot during rehearsal.
In the Advanced Design Seminar, yesterday was another working with media day! Here Marshall leads the students on an exercise in rendering fabric patterns with watercolor and colored pencil:
Like a rocket, the Spring semester is hurtling forward toward the opening of the musical, “The Triumph of Love.” We’re already to light hang. Here’s ME Abby working with another student on finishing up circuiting:
As well as other students working on the pipes. The show is being lit by guest LD Tom Littrell.
We start focus today!
In the shop, we forge ahead. I haven’t had the time to take many photos lately, but here’s one of the hedge boxes, all marbled up:
And attaching foam to the entablature for the colonnade:
When all is said and done, the set’s supposed to look like this:
