G&S turn around

[niall]

ok, as you all know we're emabrking on a bop setup in 30 minutes on thursday, friday and saturday.

Helen and i have organised as much stuff as possible so that the change around is easier for us all.

There will be a dress rehersal on wednesday starting at 6 (i think) so whoever is doing the three bops could come along they can see whats happening and we can see if we can do it! we'll also organise who does what and when you've to come in

[Mohawk]

i'll be unable to be there for 6, but will pop up at 7, straight after food

[helen]

the show run is startin at 6. So the turn around wont be until half 8 ish. So those of you who can come and help with the practice run might wanna be there about 8. It would be good if as many of you as poss who are gonna do the actual nights could be there so we all know what has to be done and we dont get in each others way!

[Richard]

I made a list of the thing we need to do for the turn around, I don't I missed anything off, however I may have done! I left it to the right of the porters desk (as you look from it), I tried to seperate the jobs into about 5 groups, so each person can take one group of tasks, and I should run smoothly. I made it so that in theory one list of jobs won't rely on another one (apart from a couple, but they will be done first in other tasks, if that makes sense - probablly not, so never mind - just look at the sheet!

I'll hopefully be able to make it in. See you there I hope.

I'm ready to repatch the lighting racks. I have my patch plan and have been thinking about what helen's managed to leave in for my ease!

See you all tonight, however I won't be able to be there for 5 like I said earlier,but I'll definately be there before 9. I have more work sitting on my shoulders that I had planned for.

[Mohawk]

im going to wander up after my field trip - no ents pass, so just going to sweet talk my way in

helen should talk to you about this later, if possible, can you come in about 2 oclock today..

i'm drafting up a sound plan for the turn around

[helen]

was thinkin it might be better for me to do the repatch as i know exactly what ive changed. We'll discuss the finer points later! If you wanna pop your heads into the box when you get in then we can have a lil chat




i just have to include this guy because he's fantastic! He's rolling his eyes in time to my music!

[niall]

bleh.. we made it too!

a few minor hicups during the night which we should sort tomorow (mainly musicians)

but some stats from tonights performance:

start: 0:00:00
end of act one: 1:12:30
end of act two: 2:24:21 (or there abouts, i dont actually know what this time was for!)
start of turn around: 2:26:47
end of turn around: 2:53:32

and that was at 9:57 i think!

well done all!

[Mohawk]

well done team

i'll watch out for the big chunk of wood above the trap door exit in future. twas mighty painful

[niall]

stats from fridays performance

start: 0:00:00
end of act one: 1:12:18
start of act two: 1:32:56
end of act two: 2:28:18
end of turn around: 2:45:37

so we were done by about 9:45!!!

but 17 minutes for the turn around, bloody hell!

[Mohawk]

Niall, i was impressed too,


lets see if we can shave off more minutes this time

[Rich R]

I'll be happy if we get it under 15 minutes tonight, but lets be ambiguous and try for under 10 minutes!!!

Let's go gang!!!

[niall]

ambigious?!

/me slaps rich R around a bit with a large trout

don't you mean ambitious?

if we get the magical number of 7 then we can abuse ben to our hearts content

[Iain Roy]

i always thought 42 was the magic number????

What i'm asking is why if we get under 7 do we get to abuse Ben?
