The dreaded TECH RUN

I only say "dreaded" because we didn't know quite what to expect. And the lovely Fringe people frightened us a bit by telling us horror stories about shows that didn't get through all their cues in their allotted time and had to go to opening night flying by the seat of their pants. We were nervous, but prepared.

Jacob started the day by taking a break.


Our whole set nearly fit into one Yaris.


We waited patiently in the courtyard of the Factory Theatre until we were called in.

Then, we were called in:

GO GO GO!


We set up.


Stage Manager Extraordinaire!
(Not to mention also a babe.)

We set our lighting cues.


We got into character:
...and we ran a cue to cue.

And, I'm happy to report, we are under control. All of our cues have been set and even though we didn't get a full run through on our stage, we are as ready as we'll ever be for opening night.

(WHICH IS TOMORROW.)

Thank you to Brian and Shawn for their help in getting us through the tech run process and to kp for documenting the whole thing.
