Meet Fred - Hijinx Theatre

For the production Meet Fred at the Old Firestation Theatre I was the only in-house tech present to assist on the day of the production. This entailed working with the Meet Fred cast and crew to help setup their set and adjust the in-house lighting rig to meet their needs. The setup also involved setting up the seating in an 'End On' formation and adjusting it in accordance with the ticket sales form the box office to make sure the theatre did not feel empty as the show had not sold out.

This also entailed working with the show file they brought with them for the ETC Ion and re-patching the dimmer and house light circuits to the Ion. This allowed for them to not re-program the entire show upon arrival. I also worked with their technician to use the in-house sound system which is an Soundcraft SI with KV2 Speakers. From a technical perspective it was also necessary to disable the fire alarm as the production used a smoke machine.

The get out entailed working with the front of house staff to remove the seating along with helping the Meet Fred production do the get out at the end of the evening. This also entailed retrieving their gels from the in-house lighting rig and re-rigging and re-focusing the in-house lighting rig.
