Yup.. smack in the middle.. Load in hasn't been going so well.. There were problems with the hanging of set pieces, the carpenters hung a very large wall unit on the wrong batton line set and with the platforms already in place we couldn't fly it back in to stage level and change it over quickly. So we had two people hanging for dear life on the rail while a bunch of people slowly moved the wall up stage on line set while it was hanging and another one was gradually transfering weight from one line set to the other. In all that took about 90 minutes to move it upstage 8 inches. That was on Monday. Then they were working on another wall flat and it flipped in the air, quite literally, thankfully no one was hurt and the set piece didn't break. Then yesterday the carpenters put two walls up on the wrong side of the stage. Sop that had to be fixed. The scenic artist took creative liberties on some of the drops and pissed of the set designer. He also didn't follow the paint elevations so the set is WAY too light, and the set designer is now having to wash everything darker. To say the least it's been interesting.
Last night we were working on spacing and had two of the actors fall due to very large costumes and having to walk down stairs. Thankfully they are both ok. We also had two actors come with in 1/4 of and inch of falling into the orchestra pit. Oh and did I mention that the stage manager called off sick last night??
UGH!! I am sooo done with this show.
