Tech Day 3: The Search For Spock

Tech was good - at one point I had a small panic attack that we weren't going to finish the show in time - but we all pulled it together, kicked some ass in the second half and now we're back on track. Our props guy Jay is a god, he gave up his dinner so he could figure out how to get us fake waves - god bless him.

I got the e-mail today that always makes me giggle "what should we warn the audience about the play?" Ah warnings, they come on cigarettes, medicine and regional theater - so I thought about it for a minute and responded:

We should warn them that the show contains: loud noises, fog, steam, strobe, exploding flour, ridiculous accents, spraying water, a hidden meaning, audience participation, an unexplained fondness for Warner Brothers, a few holes in the plot, and at least two moments where Danny Scheie feels like Sylvia Plath. If they know that, they should be fine.

Oddly, I think it's all true - though ten bucks says we just end up warning them about the loud noises.
