Saturday teaser rehearsal was a little chaotic. Our Spotlight decided to break down, our microphones were again questionable, and we had three students at Nau with the marching band. Still, the show is sounding and looking better everyday. Alden and Kelly also finished painting the bandstand that Jack and Rison finished facing. Still a lot left to do, but the costumes look great, it is visually interesting, and I actually have a Sunday to work on show videos, but otherwise, an almost day off. I also took a few photos that I am posting tonight.

When it began...Fools pictures

This was where it all began. A simple mini-model design for the first show that Spicola directed at Chaparral and the first I designed and tech directed. Fools is a very funny farce written by Neil Simon. We got a huge turnout for the show averaging around 350 per night. That was when the shows only ran for two nights!
The buildings themselves were very cartoony, but I kept saying, in this village, they would only have idiot designers and builders anyway, so that gave us a little flexibility. I also was not used to having any sort of a budget, so I was having the students re use everything that was in stock for the flats. From this show to Fiddler there was a quantum leap in regards to overall look. Still, this was a solid start for Spicomo productions, which spanned four years and 11 productions.

This and the other two pictures below were wagons that were brought in depending on the scene.
