Its Production Week on Monday!

So after weeks that have felt like years, we are now at the stage were Production Week Starts on Monday. We have finished about 90% Set with just small things to do next week, but these are only small things which is good because it means that these little jobs will not take up a huge amount of time.

Our Production week lasts 4 Days, Monday the 25th-Thursday the 28th of March. The Schedule as it stands right now is as followed:
Monday:
Tech Day, we have the theatre for a the whole day so that we can do all the major jobs like, The band Staging set-up, all the lighting rigged, sound set-up (Microphones) + All the cabling layed out ready to be plugged in etc... also at 9am on the Monday the Hire Company (Impact productions) will turn up with all the hired equipment/lighting/sound and staging, they also provided a technician to help set up the staging and the lighting. The plan is to stay until most of this is done so that is ready for Tuesday Morning!
Also at some point the Band will turn up with all their Instruments so that they can be set-up with microphones, amp plugged in etc... Me and will would then proceed to mix and equalize each and every instrument. 

Tuesday:
The Cast would then come over to the theatre at 9am ready for a full technical rehearsal (with Wireless Microphone) and this would last until whatever time they finished. In the lunch break we would then fix any technical issues or set problems ready for when the cast return after lunch. When they return they will either proceed with going over parts of the play that they weren't happy with that needed more practice. Then they would go for another run-through getting as far through the play as possible.

Wednesday:
The Cast would again turn up at 9am, to get straight into Costume ready for a Dress Rehearsal. As we had a performance at 7pm that evening, all technical issues needed to be addressed and sorted by then, (the sound was proving to be the hardest to sort out and this was my department during the show). We would then do the same as Tuesday and go over areas that the Director or the Technical team weren't happy with, and then follow this with the final rehearsal before the first show.
All pre-sets would be made and the cast would go for dinner, we would then fix any problems or do any last minute adjustments that needed to be made.
Then we would have the first show at 7pm-10pm (Approx)

Thursday:
There would be a later start on the Thursday  but the time would depend on how well the Wednesday night performance had gone. If all goes well we would come in and just get ready straight away for the matinee performance at 2.30pm. If there were areas that weren't as good as we wanted then we will be asked in a little earlier to fix/go over these areas.
There would then be the 2.30 performance and then after this a break/if there were still set/technical problems we will try and solve these before presetting for the evening performance at 7.30pm.
The Cast would then all return, get changed and ready for the last performance of the show, the show would go ahead at 7.30.
After the show had finished, straight away the Get-out would begin and the whole set and everything in the theatre would be taken down, packed away and either returned to the Hire company (Impact  Productions) or taken back to college.
After this was done we would all go home and enjoy our holidays.
