Notes Sat 2/17
TECH TIME IS UPON US!
Monday we have several things to work through before the run. Here are some things you need to know and your notes.
Costumes:
We will NOT be in full costume tomorrow but you may be asked by our costumers to try to work with specific pieces. If you have any questions about what to put on, please ask them! Please do NOT put on or move anything you haven't been asked to use.
Hair/Makeup:
You are NOT expected to come in full hair or makeup until Wednesday. You are more than welcome to play with those tomorrow as long as you are ready to go by the time we start the run. If during dress rehearsals you need more time to get your hair/makeup done, please come a few minutes early!
Lights:
You may have some stage lighting to work with beginning Tuesday so please be careful navigating changes and entrances! We have glow tape and lots of low light backstage. Do NOT stare directly into the stage lights as you get used to them! They are bright! (They are supposed to be)
Mics:
If you are in a mic for the show, please get it on BEFORE adding any costume pants, undergarments, tights, etc. We will give you mic instructions at rehearsal. If you are not on the mic list, congratualtions! That means you don't need to deal with one! Please take that win and don't be frustrated.
