Performance Day

 

 

On performance day my role as producer was to be on hand for anything the cast, crew and director wanted. I had to make sure I arrived early and make sure everything is in place for the tech run to take place. I also had to ensure any last minute purchases made by cast or crew were accounted for and all receipts were collected for reimbursement. Also making sure everything ran to schedule and making sure actors had breaks and dinner/refreshments.

 

On the day we did slightly run behind schedule due to the large cage that needed to be set up from the ceiling. We did take this into account prior to the day however; we couldn’t do anything about it prior to the show. As due to the nature of these modules the LPAC is unavailable prior to the day.

 

Later in the evening I liaised with front of house and kept them update on how long the performance runs, that it contains strobe lighting and mild violence and the time the house needed to be opened, as we had actors were performing as the audience enters the theatre we decided to open the house five minutes prior to the show starting. I also made sure the space was safe for the actors to performing in and complied with our health and safety forms.

 

The performance went ahead without a hitch and as the lights; set and sound came together on the day. I believe we achieved what we intended to set out too. Which was to create visual theatre.
