As week 3 comes to an end i can safely say i have made enormous progress as far as stage management and lighting is concerned. The group in general are really getting their act together and it seems to me they’re really enjoying it.

I have completed a small number of tasks that will allow to me continue working on a bigger scale throughout the long weekend. Much to the delight of Kim i have finally feasted my eyes on what looks to be a final draft of the floor plan. There are still a number of issues which i might arise with her during the course of the next week. That basically sums up my progress for the lighting as i will now be able to have a decent idea where and what to set the lights on or around. However there is still the issue of exactly what our director Scott wants me to perform, something dramatic as the play looks to be or should we stick with simple fade on fade offs.

Ill do a sum up for the rest of the cast and crew (except Kim and Scott):

• Goofy: My homie seems to be going along well, ill be collaborating with him to work out what sounds (FX) he’ll be wanting to incorporate. Of course as stage manager goofs my main man for the technical stuff and he needs to begin working on his FX soon so I’m able to put down which scene i need to call the shots in.
• Mel: I haven’t seen many props from mel as of yet but i’m not complaining as she has plenty of time to get what little things she needs to obtain. However, Ill be needing to get a full detailed list off her asap to add those to my running sheet.
• Elise: Elise has awesome acting ability and she really does show it when people give her a go. Make-up isn’t really related to any area of stage management. As long as she can get it done before the play begins ill be happy.
• Naomi: I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff from her lately and she sells herself when she is playing Monika. So far i can safely say she has just about everyone costume and has successfully made me get my own waiter costume.
• Yaniv: Yaniv is very funny when acting and it seems as though the character role was actually made based on his real life attributes (not in an offencive way!). Not much to add about his role other then the fact i still dont really have any idea what dramaturgy really does but ey it dont matter

Until next time,
