Worth a Thousand Words

I am working through some photographs of The Children to put up. There will be more in a few days, but for now here is a look at the finale to the big zombie chorus. Here are two photographs of essentially the same moment, one taken by the set designer the other by the official photographer.

Each of them contain aspects of truth as far as what the moment looks like, but neither are as full as the live show itself. I always find this curious when it comes to documenting my shows. No photograph is ever actually what the lighting of the scene looked like. But they can often come quite close.

Ouch! That hurt

Due to the missing lightboard, we lost four hours out of an eleven hour tech. And the wacky thing with theatre is that the performance still happens at the regularly scheduled time, finished or not.

There were some cues I had literally not seen until we were in performance. With an audience.

The festival is being very gracious and understanding with this little fiasco and has offered to find us additional time, to finish tech for the piece, prior to Fridays matinee.

And credit must go to the fine actors who I can only imagine were terrified going out on stage for a show that had never had a full technical rehearsal. Congratulations to them.

The audience seemed quite pleased with the show.
