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.\u00a0 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&#8230;highly unusual for a tech. week!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1480\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8976.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1480\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8976-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Khanh watches the stage like a hawk and Francois waits patiently for his next &quot;Go&quot; from his stage manager. \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8976-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8976-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8976.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khanh watches the stage like a hawk and Francois waits patiently for his next &#8220;Go&#8221; from his stage manager.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1475\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1475\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8978.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1475 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8978-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8978\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8978-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8978-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/artsspotlight\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_8978.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hecuba, played by Neha Nascimento, and her daughter, the prophet Cassandra, played by Trixie Williems, get a chance to feel the light on their faces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>COSTUMES AND MAKEUP<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had lots of fun getting to play with the dirt we bought for this show.
