Opening night for The Trojan Women is tomorrow! We’ve spent the last few days putting all of the pieces into place. Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots of what we’ve been up to.
CUE TO CUE
On Sunday while most of you were enjoying a brilliant fall day, the cast and crew of The Trojan Women was in Cue to Cue, a rehearsal that is exactly how it sounds. Moving from one light or sound cue to the next, our stage manager sets his stand-by lines and practices the timing for calling those cues. While this might not sound that complicated, imagine how different a scene would be if a light cue were called a few seconds earlier or later. Sometimes we have to run cues five or six times to get it all right. Luckily, our assistant stage manager Caleb Stern kept the cast focused. Senior Khanh Pham and board operators Francois Kaeppelin and Long Nguyen did an incredible job setting the tone for the show, so much that the next few rehearsals ran almost without flaws…highly unusual for a tech. week!
COSTUMES AND MAKEUP
We’ve had lots of fun getting to play with the dirt we bought for this show. It really works!
