Production Meeting Notes Sep 25

We reviewed the schedule for FABLE FACTORY:

• the opening of FABLE FACTORY has been pushed back to Oct 6 2pm: there will be an invited dress on October 5th at 10:30 am that may include a small school group: if more bookings come in it will become the first show.
• Earl needs a tech to run sound and lights for FF, starting on Tuesday October 2nd.
• His additional set peices will be installed on the 26th and 27th.

We also reviewed the schedule for URINETOWN:

• cast might be onstage Sunday evening to begin spacing
• cast will absolutely be onstage starting Tuesday
• Kris C. will start on Tuesday, as will Michelle L as Wardrobe Mistress
• The band will be in on Thursday night (oct 3) to work with Sound

SET:
the bulk of the set is in place, but there are two issues of concern:

• working out the internal power for the rotating portion of the wagon; this was not finalized in the shop, and it will take some more time to work out how the feed to the internal motor stays out of the way of the rest of the works.
• there are some logistical problems with using the "amenities" wall as the "ground" in the death scene.

David and I walked the set after the meeting and Dave had the following concerns:

• all the framing along the floor under the platforming creates a trip hazard. We discussed either removing some of the steel along the floor or decking it over to create an even floor surface under the platforms
• the rolling ladder needs swivel casters on the front end
• the lower platform where the ladder plays looks odd with one little step up, and Dave is concerned with actor perceptions of safety: asked to add a deck to that part of the platform up to create a landing instead of a little step.
• David really wants access further downstage when the wagon is the Amenity. He really wants to look at cutting a small entrance into the brick returns on either side.
• Include a step ladder in the Amenity so actors' head can pop up over the wall

PROPS and miscellaneous stuff

• Need a BULLHORN (in stock) (already put in)
• two rustic benches that match, dance-able (stock)
• Small FOGGER or aerosol fogger for ghost scene (actor carries the unit out in view, and sprays the ghostly fog around the ghosts to make them ghostly)
• Costume shop is building the mesh money bags
• Still need the chair to tie the girl to (she gets carried around) Carl offered to check the thrift shops in Hallandale, Chris continues to search Miami-Dade.
