They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (4)

 7/3/12

With the show starting today, everything has been completed. Since the last post, the posters have all been put up around the theatre; across the back section and across the adjoining pillar. The bed section has had flats put up inside it to mask the walls, which has since been painted black and dressed appropriately with a noticeboard full of photos and sign-up sheets from the age. The hours elapsed board has had the font amended and extra panels made for the ease of the cast. Also, it has been painted to give it a wooded effect. With the 6ft section up and ready, it has been masked with sheets of board and then had posters scattered across the masking. For Rocky’s office, a flat was reconditioned to be able to accommodate a door. When the door was found, it was a flat black; it has since been cut and now has a window made from a frosted gel. A new addition to the design was a banner that hangs above the postered section which reads ‘Marathon Dance Contest 1936’.

The show run from Wednesday 7th March through to Friday the 9th at 7.30pm each day, with a matinee on the 7th at 4.30pm.

All in all, this production was an absolute delight to work on. It had a great production team and a great work ethic behind everyone involved.; it’s been a pleasure working alongside TA2 and the technicians.
