  1. I had yet another construction project manager tell me that the house lights don’t really matter to the show, so it's fine if they don’t dim properly or are the wrong colour. What do I know, right?

  2. Drei Jahre mit #MECFS in der Familie. Jetzt kann ich so langsam wieder zum Theater fahren. Erstmal die arme, vernachlässigte Hardware putzen und Rechner updaten… 😢💪

    Bald gehts los mit Bühnenbau! 🥳

  3. And the award for Oldest Console I’ve Found In Use in 2024 goes to:

  4. Just had a request to justify in writing why we don’t recommend skylights in the auditorium of a theatre.

    🤦

  5. This video is doing the rounds this week and it is quite good, but I keep obsessing over the air vents right in the middle of the stage floor.

  6. My kid just asked me a question about theatre lighting design.

    I think I’ve done well.

    (In particular, she asked: why do theatre shows have a trope of lighting the whole stage in blue, and then highlighting the main character in a yellowish colour?)

  7. CW: Explains what’s funny:

    For the uninitiated, the product is called “Colorsource V” in which the V is the letter V, not a Roman numeral.

  8. A guy just called me to ask about the "Colorsource 5" fixtures on a project of mine. I suspect he may not be an authorized ETC dealer...

  9. On a much happier note, it's nice to feel like the move from performing to doing sound design for theater isn't just better for me mentally, but also making other people happy with my work. :)

  14. Well, that was a pleasant surprise. The overhead mics were feedback central, but the body mics on the leads were smooth like butter right out of the gate. If I had 30 mics (and the inputs for them), I'd just throw them on the cast and say the heck with it, although the resulting radio cloud might be sufficient to cook the audience.

  19. Wrestling with speaker placement to get a few wireless mics working for a musical in a fifty-seat cubic space. (I know, don't get me started on the necessity of mics in there...)

    Having a sinking sensation I'm going to spend the weekend chasing feedback spikes...

  25. Having wrapped off 'Ride the Cyclone', I'm now digging into sound setup for 'Cabaret' even though it doesn't start rehearsals until August, because I'm obsessive like that.

    Now to figure out whether and how to mic up a nine-piece orchestra in a weirdly-shaped 300-seat space...

  30. Opening night last night.
    Building the next show today.
    Gig work. Gotta love it.

    We definitely don't do this because it's lucrative--we do it because our souls need it.
