The Times: Technical Rehearsal

Tonight our company took the space at Cleveland Public Theatre in preparation for this weekend's workshop performances of These Are The Times. Lights, slides, costumes, props, set pieces ... it all comes together with life, and in color.

I have heard this script read numerous times ... staged readings, individuals scenes presented at special events, and of course in rehearsals for this production.Watching this piece come into vivid focus is something I have previously only had in my head ... and for a long time. But this is just what is it supposed to look like.

May Day!

Many thanks to David Krupla (lights), Heather Brown (costumes), and Josh Brown (multimedia) and of course director Mark Cipra for such a smoothly run tech.
