Here we go, into Tech Week. The set gets loaded into the theater (well, technically it's a concert hall) on Sunday, and Monday starts the "merry round" of nightly marathon rehearsals (6:30 until they kick us out) until we open on Friday. The rented costumes just came in yesterday; maybe we'll get to see them at tomorrow's rehearsal. Our make-up designer has been taking digital photos of us at the past couple of rehearsals and doing half-make-up on some of us, presumably as her rehearsals for Opening Night.
Just one little problem. Monday night, as I said, starts the marathon rehearsals. That was supposed to be our first tech rehearsal - lights, body mics, and so on. However, the concert hall is in a county facility, not a private one, and Monday is the Memorial Day holiday, which means the facility is closed. We won't be able to rehearse on the set after all, nor practice with the body mics. (We'll still rehearse Monday night, but at our usual pre-Tech site.) Instead of 4 rehearsals with all these "little" things, we now only get 3. Losing a tech rehearsal is never a good thing, and I was really looking forward to learning to work with a body mic. Oh well, here's hoping 3 tech rehearsals will be enough to get the lights hung & adjusted, the sound levels checked, and the leads (at least this lead) used to the mics.
