The Misunderstanding

Well-Another show closes while the other goes into Tech

Today The Misunderstanding closed. THe show had a successful run, money wise, but there was a lot of negative energy surrounding the production. I don't say this to be mean, it is an observation. There seem to be a lot of communication issues from Day One that spread from the rehearsal room. That being said, I met some wonderful people at The Flea as well as some special collaborators.

Midsummer Tech starts tomorrow night. Rich (the General Manager of the Queens Players) will be meeting with myself and Lisa (my lighting designer) in the theater to show us how the system works. Lisa will watch the run through tonight, and join me at the theater on Tuesday to start building cues. The light plot is going to be fairly simple, but effective. Midsummer as a whole is focused on the story with everything else as the spices that make it delicious. I have confidence in Lisa's design for this show and am looking forward to showing her what we have been up too.

Also on Monday is the painting party! That theatre has to get white somehow!

Thursday our sound designer, Jill Walker, gets into town. Friday is dedicated to Jill and I working in the space while some actors help out cleaning, hanging fabric, and adjusting costumes. I cannot stress enough how wonderful working with this cast has been. They are extremely giving.
