As a theatre tech can I just say that was bloody fab to have as a segment. Thank you!!
Cannot even count the amount of times I've said "if we've done our job right they won't know we're here" or some version. Of that sentiment

Drei Jahre mit #MECFS in der Familie. Jetzt kann ich so langsam wieder zum Theater fahren. Erstmal die arme, vernachlässigte Hardware putzen und Rechner updaten… 
Bald gehts los mit Bühnenbau!

@chrisjrn well, hopefully the light show and staging will be fun to watch at any rate #eurovision #techtheatre #techtheater #StageLighting
Just had a request to justify in writing why we don’t recommend skylights in the auditorium of a theatre.
This video is doing the rounds this week and it is quite good, but I keep obsessing over the air vents right in the middle of the stage floor.

My kid just asked me a question about theatre lighting design.
I think I’ve done well.
(In particular, she asked: why do theatre shows have a trope of lighting the whole stage in blue, and then highlighting the main character in a yellowish colour?)
The drama in the AI market is palpable – a blockbuster in the making or a suspenseful bubble about to burst?

A guy just called me to ask about the "Colorsource 5" fixtures on a project of mine. I suspect he may not be an authorized ETC dealer...
A few years ago I had a great time being able to share the nerdy details of my #sound mixing job at #Hamilton with #AdamSavage on #Tested. #TechTheatre #Theatre #TechTheater #Theater https://youtu.be/60OpF3DCVls?si=plcN_F11W5TOgDd3

Digico Quantum 852, in case you’re wondering.
On a much happier note, it's nice to feel like the move from performing to doing sound design for theater isn't just better for me mentally, but also making other people happy with my work. :)

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. The overhead mics were feedback central, but the body mics on the leads were smooth like butter right out of the gate. If I had 30 mics (and the inputs for them), I'd just throw them on the cast and say the heck with it, although the resulting radio cloud might be sufficient to cook the audience.
Wrestling with speaker placement to get a few wireless mics working for a musical in a fifty-seat cubic space. (I know, don't get me started on the necessity of mics in there...)
Having a sinking sensation I'm going to spend the weekend chasing feedback spikes...
(Although, looking at the alt-text, only one of those people actually coils cable.).

Having wrapped off 'Ride the Cyclone', I'm now digging into sound setup for 'Cabaret' even though it doesn't start rehearsals until August, because I'm obsessive like that.
Now to figure out whether and how to mic up a nine-piece orchestra in a weirdly-shaped 300-seat space...
Everything you need to know about your first shop build for New York shows and how a Broadway sound system all comes together

Owen MeadowsThe Shop Build — Owen MeadowsOne of the central parts of any New York or large regional show is the "Shop Prep," an essential step in the production when the sound system comes together.
2 shows fitted up in 2 days in 2 cities separated by a 2.5hr train journey.
No fitup tomorrow.
Sleep tomorrow.

“I’ve always considered theatres to be one giant tripping hazard.”
