Technical Stage Management
Betty Blue Eyes was a technically challenging show as there was quite a large set in a small studio space. Another challenge was that the stage was set up in a traverse style; meaning that the audience was seated ether side of the stage. As can be seen from the groundplan below the stage and seating made full use of the space in the Chandler.
Groundplan
Kabuki
In 'Betty Blue Eyes' we used a double kabuki for one of the scenes near the end of act 1. The kabuki dropped in front of the main sliding doors U/S and was then ripped down by one of the cast.
We made the kabuki using old fabric we had in stock from Dracula.
Lighting
LD: Sergey Jakovsky Board Op/Programmer: Sarah MacDonald Since the stage was in traverse everything was mirrored which meant the use of groups was extremely helpful when programming. As well as generic fixtures we used LED parcans, Mac TW1s,various practicals and a mirrorball. We used the ETC Eos Ti desk.
