How many more lights are we gonna use?

That was Marty's question, I said I don't know, he said none, because we don't have anymore.
So we're putting up "Oz" by Patrick Shanahan, it's a Wizard of Oz adaptation that is told using 3 actors.  We're amping up the tech, and using every light, smoke machine, and purchased some new bubble machines.  All of this applied to a 12 x 20' performance space.  14 ellipsoidal (4 with break up gobos), 10 large pars, 2 small pars, 6 cyc lights, 5 moving head spots, a hazer, a geyser, a fogger, and 3 bubble machines.  We're also thinking of putting a remote desk lamp on stage.  The actors will literally be surrounded by lights and effects.  Adding in our surround speaker system with subwoofers, and I think the audience is going to feel pretty emerged into the imagination of Frank Baum.

So many lights and sounds, all set up but only half programmed.  Hopefully this all works out, but we'll see.  No spares to pull if something doesn't work, we threw in everything but the kitchen sink.

The red circles below are where the lights are.  Soooo many!

Stay Techie my Friends!
