I have been remiss in writing in my blog. Right now I am steeling my nerves to get going on the day so I figured I could update quickly.
CTC's theatre is small but functions. It does not have a real fly space, which makes me very sad, but I suppose with touring shows, that doesn't make much difference. The company rents from the city of Sunnyvale, so there are all kinds of rules and regulations to follow including not being able to build on stage (though I suspect that has more to do with rehearsal time/space), which makes the small, postage-sized shop get crowded very quickly.
The one thing I know for sure is that it gets tough to come into a situation in the middle of things. As the official summer scene painter, it is frustrating to find that paint for shows opening this morning was not labeled as such. And there isn't a stock of basic colors. And things are a mess. But I'm getting a handle on that (organized a lot yesterday while also doing paint touch ups the best way I could with mystery paint). I also mixed a lot of color and am ready to jump in and paint columns and arches a lovely speckled sandstone.
Hopefully by Friday I will be more on top of the show we load in on Sunday.
Okay, probably should get going then, huh? More soon.
