Hour 20

During Hour 20 we started a run through of the musical.  Working back stage is a lot of things, its fun, stressful, boring and more.  As the show progressed we practiced the scene changes.  These could be really stressful because of timing, actors not knowing what to do, and much more.  In between scene changes can be just as bad.  When your not running around or doin anything, your sitting down back stage as quitely as possible.  One of the hardest scen changes in the show was the "Hot Box" scene, which was basically a night club.  This scene was difficult because the main set piece was really big and heavy.  Then to add onto that we had to fly out one set of side curtains, then fly them back in, along with another curtain.  While tht is all going on I had to make sure that the Hot Box got pluged in because it was lined with light bulbs, to add an old school night club feel.  If you thought that was hard enough, this entire set change happened during another scene.
