This week Tina and myself have been working on making the book. The book consists of: lighting, sound cues, prompt script, technical rider, day rider, contact list, props sheet and source sheet. It basically includes everything which is to do with the show. I have been a little nervous about calling and operating the show alone, and after finding out how many cues we had I did start to panic a little. However, we realised that Tina in the actual performance was not needed backstage as all the set and props are already on stage, so we decided that she would operate the sounds throughout the show. Although as a touring company I know that many companies only have one stage manager who would normally operate and call the show. However for this show we have both decided that it would be beneficial if we were both oping the show. This also means that the lighting and sound will have to be on two separate programs instead of all being on Qlab. So this is something we will do in the week before our tech day on Saturday!
Additionally today we had a meeting with the stage manager, Darren Page, of the LPAC we were discussed what technical elements we have in our performance. Although unfortunately we had not made our technical rider so we had to reading from notes about what lights and sound requirements we needed to inform them off. However, we went into the library and were able to quickly produce this document.
