We open Seussical in about 2 months- and I have a new resolution! I'm going to blog every day (at least, every weekday!) about the process.
So here's my beginning...discussing production meetings.
Today started with a production meeting. Production meeting are where the production staff (the director, lighting designer, stage manager, set designer and creative team) get together to discuss how the show is going, what needs to be finished, issues that are happening, etc.
Today's meeting was very productive- we're going right along with our prop list (including shower loofahs and ping pong balls), the set is moving at a decent pace and our costumes are going to be gorgeous. Our conductor, Dr. Tim Sexton, was also there and he has started the process of putting together the orchestra that will accompany our show. There are still a lot of things that need to be worked out (how do I make a clover field spring from the ground? Will the actors AND the set pieces be able to fit backstage?). I'm very lucky to have a really great creative team that fixes most of the crisis I come up with (which is many).
In addition to a production meeting- we gathered what is rapidly becoming a signiture musical move- the confetti! Here's a shot of my hard working assistant Elin counting the red and white confetti we'll be using in Seuss!!
