Apologies for the tardiness of this issue - there were 'glitches'.....Issue 47 | |
Part 3 of a 4-part series on STAGE LIGHTING, which will be posted every other week.
(Tip: Even if you don’t have an extensive stage lighting system in your theatre, your vocational students will probably work with them in college or in the real world, so teaching these enlightening tips is always a good idea!)
Once you have your Rep Plot hung, circuited and focused, in order to keep all of this information straight, Lighting Designers create a Channel Schedule, or as it’s more frequently called the Cheat Sheet or Magic Sheet. This is an example of a Cheat Sheet. Note that all of the standard positions are set, and that an area is available in which to record your Specials. Specials customize your Rep Plot into a unique design for each event.

Dear Techie,
We’ve opened a new theatre this year, and our technical director of 30 years, has decided to retire. We are finding it challenging to find a replacement with all the requisite skills. Do you have any suggestions about where we might look? Help, we’re in a bind!

Julius Caesar ordered pizza
But there wasn’t enough for everyone.
Julius (confused): But there was enough for everybody to have a slice...
Brutus: I ate two slices.
Julius: Ate two, Brute?!
