Sorry the posts have been sporadic.  The work has been intense in rehearsals.  On Monday we began load-in and the designers and crew have been doing amazing things in the theater, with the amazing organizational talents of Juliet Chia, our Production Manager. Here she is with Sound Designer Rich Kim.

And here with Jonathan, the associate set designer who has been a rockstar as well.

I went through paper tech with Stacey, Nicole, Rich and Jeanette this afternoon which was also very helpful in preparing for our 12 hour days in the theater on Friday and Saturday.

Here is the WALL in its full glory.  so clean and white! oooooh….

And the view of the stage from off stage right:

If you didn’t know, HERE has been going through MAJOR construction and renovations the last several months, and oph3lia will be the first show in the mainstage space since re-opening.  The whole space has really transformed — it’s amazing!

The actors move into the theater tomorrow!!!!!!  It’s an exciting and scary time when all the ideas come into being — the meeting of reality and ideals, which if often a frustrating and revelatory process.  Our last rehearsal in the bank vault tonight, we worked heavily with putting music together. We set up a little sound tech table for Rich and Andy.  I love these guys.
