Set Design meeting

Just got back from my meeting with set and lighting designer Frank Polleck. Frank had some good ideas and is going to be making a great set for us. We looked at the set design layout in the back of the script book, but Frank thought changing a few things would help for the audience to see everything going on stage better. His ideas were good and I think they are going to help for the audience to see everything. He's going to draw it up for me to see it all together. Then I'll sign off on it and he'll get started. After we have auditions this weekend( 14th-15th), he's going to tape down the set on the rehearsal hall floor so we can block all the motions and not be running into walls.

After the meeting stopped by to talk with Jeff. We're still looking for light/sound operator and stage manager. Also I've got to get him pages from the script that we'll be using at auditions for the casting. Jeff has been promoting casting and getting the word out about it. He went on our local news this morning to talk about his upcoming production, but I guess got roped into talking about the auditions for this and the other play they'll be casting for at the same time. Sorry about that Jeff. :P

Till next time, don't raise the curtain, lower the seats...

Weekend update

Greetings all. Just wanted to give you a small update on what's been going on. I've be reading over the script and making notes about it. This is a highly dramatic play indeed. Casting will be very important. Speaking of casting, auditions will be held Oct 14-15th with the 16th a day for call backs. Then after that I'm sure we're going to have to go right into rehearsals due to the short time we have before performance time.

Tomorrow I meet with set designer Frank Polleck to talk more about sets and all that good stuff. Will give a report of how that goes tomorrow.

Till next time, keep the spotlights hot!
