Sir Mix-A-Little
They found someone else to run the light board, so i'm just working sound for The Cherry Orchard. The sound board is far more intimidating than the light board. It was may more sliders, dials, knobs, and buttons. When you run lights, you just hit the "go" button when the stage manager says so. With sound, i have to operate the MiniDisc player, adjust the output to the correct speaker, set levels for each cue, and manually bring the volume up and down. There is a much greater opportunity for error with this gig.
I did just fine tonight for the final dress rehearsal. Tomorrow is opening night. If you're coming down, let me warn you that Wealthy is all torn up. You may want to use the parking lot off Sigsbee just behind the theatre if you're not driving some sort of heavy duty SUV like this guy:
