Could I have made that last sentence any more confusing if I tried? Does it even make sense grammatically? What the hell does any of that mean? Well I'll answer that last one.
So tonight the show: Georgy Porgy...and other stories by Roald Dahl (catchy title right...) closed at The Annoyance. I have been working on this show as the Stage Manager and Video guru - both of which were kind of intense, as this show was a bitch technically.
The Director is someone I've known since college (we met at a college improv festival.... aww) and knew I did a lot of video work in my spare time.
Well she pitched this show idea to the theater like four months ago - and then contacted me, as she wanted to mix live performance with various multimedia elements. Well the show got picked up and I started a lot of work - as through out the show there are various images and videos projected on a large screen to add to the performance.
There were over 100 different visual cues for this show alone (just pictures and video). That does not include, music, lighting cues, etc. so this was quite a job and for the past eight weeks I've been working my but off in the booth with the Theater's Technical Director (who's operating the board).
The sad thing is - as the post mentions - the show closed tonight. It was a fun, if sometimes stressful run and my first show at The Annoyance.
The nice thing is - because of how much work was involved in this show (and how well I did in the booth), I've been offered a technical internship at The Theater.
In fact I already have my next show, lined up: The Perfect Wave.
No more paying for classes, and I get to stage manage more shows.
Thus my official involvement with the Annoyance begins... mwuahahaha.
