Last Full SCA Show

Nick — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:03:38 +0000

This week I’m working the last full SCA show that I’ll do while officially employed by the school. It’s two one-act comedies. The first one, called “The Case of the Frozen Saints”, is 50’s style detective case about a church that’s been murdered by the poison of bad attitudes. The second, called “The Actor’s Nightmare” is about an unsuspecting man who walks into a theatre and is forced into playing a part for an injured actor. It’s all about his attempts to discern what play he is in and get through the play.

I’m not using wireless for any of the actors for this show, which is relaxing. I’m not having to worry about broken/temperamental mics forcing me to miss sound cues. I just concentrate on the music and SFX. My setup includes running QLAB on a MacBook into a Roland Edirol FA101 into a Mackie 1604VLZ and out to 2 large Tannoy speakers for mains and 3 smaller Tannoys for front fills. 1 Sennheiser wireless handheld is for announcements and a staged announcement in the second act and I have an iPod for house music.

Later I’ll post photos of the sound/lighting setup and the stage set.
