Sat through the first act run through (with orchestra) of Simi's MFL. Not bad for a stumble through, but as David Ralphe commented after the rehearsal, very few people were attached to the role and to the moment and to their make-believe surroundings. Will Shupe's set will be VERY representational and suggested (rather than practical), so the actors will have to imagine it and interact with it for us.

 

That said, my job isn't going to be too tough. I have a nice mix of daylight and evening and indoor and outdoor scenes. The suggestion of a window gobo in the intel fixture that "climbs the wall" as the day progresses should be just enough, to achieve Higgins' office/study, and the rest is basically specialized washes to indicate the time of day.

 

I'll likely want to use the mini P16's at the apron as foot/bounce lights, primarily to get up underneath the smattering of BIG hats the cast will be wearing.
