DAY SEVEN
Today Margaret was very (very) sick, so I was on my own. I spent most of the day changing lighting notes for the musical, but carved out about an hour and a half for various senior project bits. In the morning, I went down to the black box and opened the storage closet. I found the board, lots of lights, and even some gels and extra frames. Looking at the lights was super interesting. I don't know how old they are, but they're solid gray (rusting) metal compared to the newer plastic/metal/glass ellipsoidal source fours we have on the main stage. Once I get the board on I'll be able to test them and make sure they work. I checked the bulbs on a bunch and they look in good condition, but they're different than the ones we use now so if any burn out we will need some sort of contingency. I would say we could take some from upstairs but every light (besides parnells, which we will take from above) is being used for Once on This Island.
I also recruited Amanda Hinds to be a possible tech runner for us during the show; She would be the person to run lights and sound cues while we're on stage. Joan Saunders also requested a poem on today's blog about my character in the musical, so Joan, this is for you:
Agwe, god of water and bees
Making storms all around Haiti
A huge one trapped a girl in a tree
I'd say he's the one who starts the story
Sings about rain? Yes
Playing Agwe brings me no pain
Plays in a pond on stage? Yes
When I make the storms I'm on a rampage
Is a pirate? Arguably
Will I wear rope on stage? We'll have to see.
I hope it lived up to your expectations, Joan.
