With the refresher rehearsal tomorrow and the first show the following morning, the last minute prep is finally finished and it is all looking good ready for testing with the rest of the set tomorrow! In a last minute decision by the director, the garage is now having a physical set rather then a projected one, and so it was a dash down to the car specialists to hunt up a simple device to transform the set into a garage. The new additions are; a set of wheel covers to hang in the garage scene, re-hemmed and re-hung curtains to a better ballance, and the newly repainted stands and stool!
Before After
The stool was previously black, but with all of the rest of the furniture used being wood Tony asked me if I could paint the stool wood effect to match and I have managed to create a fairly effective effect!
As the stool already had a finish on it, the best option in this case was to use acrylic as it is durable, will stick to just about anything and can, if necessary, be washed off at the end of the run to return the stool to the black finish beneath.
Tomorrow's rehearsals are being held at the Friday morning venue and we are leaving the set there overnight, and I am delighted that for the Friday run and several dates after Diana Steadman, the stage manager I worked with on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', will be coming on board as the shows stage manager!
