DAY SIXTEEN
Much progress today! Last night, I completed the poster and this morning looked at it with Margaret to put it in the program and edit it. Overall, I'm thrilled with it. We're super grateful for the development office for printing them out for us on nice large paper. We're both keeping one, one has been put on the door to the black box, and the other seven we will hang tomorrow.
Bill was gracious enough to lend us his lights until we strike our set. As a thank you, I'm building a little box to put his dimmers in. We'll use it, and if he likes it it's all his. I'll hang those tomorrow as well and hopefully get that aspect done and dusted. The technical aspects of our show should be great, we just have to make sure we can get enough runs in before Monday. Crunch time is coming!

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 Hi...

DAY FIFTEEN A long while spent with Mike the electrician has confirmed our fear - the black box lighting will not be fixed in time for our performance. Long story short, it was not the board or the circuits, but the box and the cords that link them... sort of. It's not that exactly, but I don't know the proper terms to describe it all and theres still some gray areas in our understanding. I went to see Bill, but he was not in his studio so I emailed him bout his lights. A conversation has started so hopefully we can work something out. Without lighting to work on, I turned myself to a new task: The poster and playbill. Both are near completion, and once this blog is published I'll keep working on them. I hope to have them done by tomorrow with an image for the post and one on the door of the black box. TODAY'S HOURS: 4.5 TOTAL: 43.5
