Anyway......
Only 2 directors were late (3:03pm ain't 3:00). The following is paraphrased:
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Lou: You know there are no light changes when these scenes change, right?
Director: Derek said it could be done.
Lou: If Derek can do it in 20 minutes, it's yours.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Director: 3 pages, 187 cues
(pause)
Lou: (a look that speaks "Is this really how you want to use your time?")
Director: Okay. Lights up when he exits with the sandwich, lights out.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Director: The band has a number of golf ball cues.
Lou: I'm concerned about a golf ball going down the vom and being left there.
Director: the actor can pick it up afterwards.
Lou: In the dark.
Director: ....I'll make sure the actor picks it up.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Director: The band will play the last 4 bars, and vamp while the the actors crawl downstage, then the lights will do a slow fade but cross into blue before going all the way out. Simple yet complex
Lou: ... Next?
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Director: they argue "did not did too did not did too" til page six
Lou: Whoa. til page six?
Director: Oh sorry. I jumped from page one. There aren't any cues until page six.
Lou: I knew that.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Lou: Good work everyone. (Deb Fialkow whispers in Lou's ear) I've just been informed that the light board has lost all its preset cues. So tech will be a little delayed. Please arrive to the theatre at your assigned time with the expectation that you will start at least 5 minutes late.
Directors: Hm.
