Earl was in rehearsals for CHARLOTTE'S WEB
I Love You Because
There were sound issues during the Wednesday evening show - EL's mic dropped out several times during the first part of Act I. This was caused by signal interference of unknown origin. The same mic worked fine during the afternoon matinee. The mic's frequencey was changed the first time he left the stage, and the mic pac was switched out at intermission. This completely solved the problem for Act II. (Carl reports Thursday's show was interference free).
As noted previously, someone took one of the chinese dinners out of the freezer and left it in the microwave. It has been replaced, and we are considering putting a lock on the freezer door.
Photo call has been set for next Thursday, February 1st.
La Cage Aux Folles (section copied to LC blog)
Casting is not yet complete. He's got a list of 12 he wants, but they need to be confirmed.
STAFFING
Chrissi Ardito is choreographing, and Eric Alsford will be the Musical Director.
David is considering options for ASM.
David will discuss the Sound Design with Nate, to see if he's available. He will also see if Steve Shapiro is available, or if Nate and Steve can co-design. Our fall-back is to have Lane design the show - Dave is trying to hold off giving him a "baptism by fire," but we're confident in Lane.
DRESSERS - we'll probably need three - one specifically for Gary Marachek.
COSTUMES
We are going ahead with the Costume World package. David is trying to set up a meeting for Wednesday, January 31. It's tentatively set at 11am, but this depends on the schedule of Marilyn Wicks of Costumen World. She is out of town, and her staff isn't sure if she will return in time. More info to come. Costume photos can be found HERE.
We're not certain if the package includes wigs; it probably does not. In any case we will need a wig person. David has suggested that this is probably a person who comes in simply to prepare the wigs prior to the show and not necessarily someone who is there for the show.
NOTE: we will probably need to acquire equipment for wig care: dryers and so forth.
We will need to acquire or build the undergarments for ZaZa and the Cage-elles; they are not included in the costume package.
Numerous set design questions for Mike:
- We need color elevations for all elements
- David wants specifics on changing into ZaZa's dressing room from the apartment
- We need a tracking sheet of the scene change
- We need a list of furniture and set dressing
SCHEDULE NOTES:
The calendar needs to reflect 3 weeks of rehearsal. David confirms that there will be a 10am matinee on the day of the first preview.
