Tech Weekend

We spent all weekend in tech, which for non-theatre people, is coordinating all the light, sound and image cues, making sure they look right, work together, go on and off at the right time, are the correct volume level, etc. It's a complex, tedious process that often is fraught with technical difficulties and surprises (which we don't want).

The whole process is coordinated by the Stage Manager Sarah Pappin. Everyone involved this weekend was remarkably pleasant during the 20-plus hours of work, but for my money, Sarah and her assistant, Zach Brink, deserve a medal. In lieu of that, fortunately, we got this response from the tech advisor at the close of business today: "It looks like we're going to have a show."
