So as we rush into shows with all the craziness of tech week, we hardly ever get all of the effects and scenery and lighting and sounds together that we wanted. Mostly because you give a tech person an infinite amount of time to tweak and they will tweak and add until you stop them. For me, I like to add and change things up through the performances in week 2, but week 3, I don't try to change anything. It's kind of a time to run the show and look at what you were able to do, and make notes for next time.
To me that's the great thing about Enter Stage Right, you know there will be a next time. And next time isn't that far away. A 12 month schedule let's us play and get better. I'm trying to keep learning, keep growing, keep improving for the other company members and the audience. I want to say I have 20 shows worth of experience, not one show's experience 20 times. And I see that in everyone else at ESR. I feel lucky to be around a group of people that not only do their best at this theatre thing for the audiences, but for each other.
I'll probably only be doing one more post before I hand the reigns over to Colie, she's got the conn for Dancing at Lughnasa. Enjoy the shows, life, and the opportunities presented to us, and I'll see you back here for one more until Robin Hood. I'm so psyched for that!
Stay Techie my friends!
