The days are quickly winding down for the cast of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Some students are having eligibility issues and the show is just around the corner. This week I’ll just give you a brief rundown of tech week.
Tech week is usually the last full week of rehearsals before opening night. We do things such as set up light cues, sound checks, assign body mics, and complete transitions and set changes. Tuesday, April 24, was a mess for the actors. Some stayed until 7:30 p.m. getting work done. We had to get all of the things mentioned above set for Act one. On Wednesday, April 25, we did the same for Act two, then Thursday, April 26 we ran the full show.
On Monday, April 23 we had to take production photos and get into our costumes, and that was fun as always. Hopefully the rest of the week doesn’t go as slow as Tuesday. I’ll see you next week with final words on the production. Don’t forget: the show opens Friday, May 4 and closes Saturday, May 5. Tickets will be on sale soon.
