It's more like self-preservation; in many cases, for every job opening, the company receives hundreds of resumes, so their first task is to weed it down to a manageable amount. In other words, the first thing they do is to look for a reason to reject your resume. The ones with gross speeling misteaks or tyops make this a little easier. Then, when the pile is down to dozens, rather than hundreds, the real selection process begins; the ones that stand out get looked at more often and more carefully. ------------------------------ Message-ID: In-Reply-To: From: "Matthew Breton" Subject: Re: Detour from Designer SM Relationship Date: Tue, 08 Mar 2005 08:23:54 -0500 >*Ok, if the theatre burns down, will there still be a show that night?? :) There'll be a show that night; just not at that theatre.

It would be awfully nice if the bubbles lasted a long time For last summers Shakespeare In The Park performance of Much Ado, they rented one of those DJ/party foam makers. These are the things that can fill up a club with foam/bubbles and REALLY crank out bubbles (there was much fun had when they were testing it out in the backstage lot!). They played a bit with the fluid mix, and I believe added a bit of glycerine to "strengthen" the bubbles. The foam lasts for hours, and this was outdoors! YMMV.

Delete freely. I have been reading in the paper lately that baseball is very concerned with performance enhancement substances. I work in entertainment, and I find that I support performance enhancement . I support it in many ways. As one player pointed out - coffee is a performance enhancement drug. I'm up to 2 pots a day - the stronger the better. If it hurts, take an Aspirin. If you bleed, use a band aid. The show must go on. (Don't get me started on "gaffe" tape.) Furthermore, if you can't sing loud enough to "hit it out of the park," I lend you wire. If the theatre is too dark to see the performance, give me 110% of all DMX controlled power throbbing through my system. What? You don't have 110%? Well then give me 120% and quit whining! "Dance 10 looks 3?" Make-up can make a rather ugly dancer look presentable. Breast pads and hip augmenters are costumers' friends. Oh, and I even provide the Stage Manager with a clear com system to performance enhance his/her psychic abilities - so the crew does not need to guess at the q's. Hmm. What was I really going to post? Oh yes... We do something called "Senior Spotlight" in our HS show programs. Each student writes a note to sort of sum up his/her theatre experiences. I have somewhat disliked this indulgent practice. It is a pain to arrange, and someone always tries to write something less than smart. And who reads it anyway? Well, I'm having a change of heart. In our world we are in an age of "sports at all costs." As a result, the arts take a hit from sports mania expansion. It seems that we can't schedule uninterrupted full cast rehearsals anymore. There is always a conflict - and then someone gets sick or hurt. Well, I've discovered that the "Senior Spotlights" are read by administrators and parents. They serve to remind the community why we do what we do in the arts. For example: IMHO, 70 people pulling off a joint task in the form of a musical production far outweighs a tennis match played by one student 60 minutes drive away. People don't understand that unless you tell them. I now recommend this spotlight practice to anyone who needs to enhance his/her program. Coming full circle, I now believe we should outlaw performance enhancement in sports -- if for no other reason than to keep them from steeling any thing else from the arts. So many things they use to hype sports was originally developed in the arts. We should get to keep performance enhancement for ourselves. They can go find something else to add excitement to their part of the entertainment industry! Where's my coffee cup? John in tech. ------------------------------ From: "Dr. Randall W.A.

THe first time this happened to me, it was the director and the designer, after the house was opening, wanting to re-record a cue. A sound cue, that is. I was a bit green still, and I let them. The first thing I did was to mute the outs so that NOTHING could get to the house. Then I converted our FOH system to a recording system, and re-recorded the cue. I then went through my top of show checklist to make sure that I was back to square one, and ready for our very first show in front of an audience. Of course, nowhere on my TOS lsit did it say "unmute the outputs"... I left an audience in dark silence for about eight seconds. Now, I've ridden bucking broncs, and that day in the booth still holds the record for the longest eight seconds of my life. Today, my answer would be "Out of my booth! See me after the show, or deal with my replacement now!" I'd be happier to go home and watch cartoons in that situation as to take a chance on repeating that incident.

The way the pound is to the dollar I wouldn't even think about consumer electronics they will be way too expensive. Go and see a band in the splendidly named King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, go and catch some of the most beautiful scenery and cleanest air anywhere in the world at Loch Lomond only about 20 miles north of the city. There is nothing wrong with renting a car if you can get the hang of driving on the proper side of the road (that is the left, of course) but public transport is adequate. If you have time go to one of the nearby islands such as Islay or Jura to taste the finest malt whisky in the world at one of the distilleries. I'm sure you will have a fantastic time Enjoy.

My own inclinations would lead me to the Burrell collection, and to the University, where a house wholly designed and furnished by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has been re-created. Hill House, at Helensburgh, is an original Charles Rennie Mackintosh creation. It's a few miles out, but there is a train service. There is also a Metro system. GLA is some way out of town, really in Paisley. Study some maps. I assume that there's a link into the City, but I don't know.

"Video elements of this program may cause dizziness, nausea, and/or convulsions" appeared in a recent playbill. In my experience, audience warnings generally don't talk about conditions audience members might have, but rather effects elements of the production might cause. It seems more polite that way. It's also a little CYA in case it causes a seizure in someone who doesn't have epilepsy (or weren't aware that they did). Maybe check with the ADA? -- Matt ====== _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Last year I ended up with 4 different costumers that drove us nuts and did nothing leaving me to most of the costuming of the shows (8) I would really like to avoid this kind of thing this year!!! We run 7 shows in rep all summer opening the first show only a week after the staff arrives and three days after the actors begin to arrive. The last show to finally open is on the 14th of July and then they just keep rotating. I need someone as a costume designer and constructing that can handle this fast pace intense task. But, everyone that inquires about it seems to have little to no experience in costuming or they are nuts! Are all experienced costumers crazy....what is your experiences? Tony Olson Tech.
