TIC kept me very busy during my weekends in May (plus a few other days during the week too) overseeing the build for The Producers, a Mel Brooks Musical. (Now playing at Theatre in the Country) Here are some photos of the build plus some production photos. It is a very funny and will done Broadway Musical. Just be aware of some of the audience advisories before you go in!
There were 2 or 3 other productions happening on the stage during the build which complicated things a bit. A highschool production of Clue was the major one, so we helped to get that one going kind of at the same time (and Reg the set designer had some clever ways of combining the two sets in many ways). Also the TIC Academy had 2 shows near the beginning, so I helped get their backdrops for The Little Mermaid and Grease ready, but otherwise I wasn’t needed.
I’ve only been working with TIC for a few months but I’m starting to get to know where things are, how things work, and who some of the regular volunteers are. Much thanks to Darren, Nicola, Simon, Robbie, John, and Zander for their expert help with the set! Many of the cast members helped too, especially Joyce with much of the painting… as our regular painter wasn’t available for this show. Jenny from Props also lent us a lot of support with painting.
