Episode 18

Market scene rehearsal, photo by Dennis
Last night, (Tuesday) was our technical rehearsal. Beforehand  Mary Fox whipped the cast into shape as we try to train them to sign in and get to site on time. Most of them understand the discipline. David took the warm up and we headed over to Venue one for the market. Photographer Jason Lam came to take some test photos before he does the full shoot on the dress rehearsal

Venue two for the swamp and  thank goodness a few technical things went wrong in Act 2 so we can fix them and have some backup plans. As usual Kelly Blumberg and CJ Fraser Bell saved the day.  We will put new cues in for when the generator starts and the tri-light turns on. Tony is going to bring some alternative lights for emergency. And then on to the third venue.  Bilha had me in stitches as she bellowed on her megaphone, ordering people to move or else they would "miss out on the pavlova".

Wednesday night: Dress rehearsal - slick, all went according to plan
