The countdown has begun to EP’s musical production, The Wizard of Oz which opens on 21st February. 🌈👠
For those of you who have not been involved in a school production before, here’s what the final few weeks will look like for the team:
Actors are rehearsing for 12 hours over the course of a week finalising blocking, becoming completely ‘off-script’, taking care of their voices, costume-fittings and...
Musicians are working together as an ensemble to perfect the songs and putting them together with the singer-performers in the theatre space.
Dancers are polishing up their numbers, ensuring they are on time and in sync with the music and each other, beginning to rehearse in costume and taking care of their bodies to ensure they are in top shape for the show.
Stage Managers are organising the props table, ensuring actors have exactly what they need at exactly the right time for their scene and ensuring their scripts are up-to-date with any last-minute changes.
Costume designers are pulling together the final items of costume, doing final fittings and adjustments as the actors and dancers learn how to perform their scenes now in costume.
Sound technicians are finalising sound effects and their cues, working with actors and musicians to ensure mics are correctly worn and sound levels are just right.
The lighting team are programming the lighting desk with all their cues, fades and snaps, refocusing the lamps as blocking is finalised and ensuring they are in sync with the actors, sound operators and musicians.
Our projection designers are finalising their creative designs, filming and editing some final sections and programming their software to ensure their cues are on point!
Our set design team are almost done - sets have been designed, constructed and painted - now stage lighting and actors are added to the mix final adjustments to colour and manoeuvrability are underway.
