Preparations

Its time to start preparing for the big move back to the midwest and for the first couple shows of the summer.  I spent some time exploring the space and lighting positions earlier in the year, but I’ve begun to prepare my plot for the preseason show which opens in two weeks.  This puts me in an interesting position of using a plot I designed 9 months ago, with the design mentality I have developed in the past 9 months.  My standards for my own work have increased, so I hope I don’t let my self down on a children’s show that I have little time to mount.

I’ve also begun planning out my schedule of projects I hope to knock out before we hang the plot for West Side Story.  Some of them are for the bigger picture of the theatre and some are to open up new possiblities for designing lights in the space.  I’m also trying to work out what the Production Manager role will imply.  The summer will be hear very soon, and I plan on being ready to make it happen.
