An Evening with Groucho
I had the good fortune to be tapped by CTPA to light Frank Ferrante’s “An Evening with Groucho.” (Thanks, Kelly!) It was a relatively simple plot to come up with based on his needs and the cues he provided us with. Rick from CTPA did me a huge favor and hung the plot, and I came in the next day to focus it… only to found out on day of show that Frank wanted to be 4 feet further downstage. So, quick LD thinking, I lost the 3rd Electric and refocused the remaining instruments for the looks he wanted. All in all, it worked out pretty good, I got the show programmed quickly and then ran through a couple of very fast tech rehearsals with Frank making changes along the way. What a great show, he and his music director are both incredibly talented. Frank was very friendly and generous with praise for all our hard work. Hope to put some pics up soon!
