Been busy

  Things are definitely picking up, I have already worked worked my first call for Neptune Theatre this new year. I spent Sunday night striking the Lighting for their production of The Wizard Of Oz, and hanging the lights for Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit.
  The people at Neptune are great, there are always new faces and I always enjoy working calls there. My Neptune experience has varied since I started working casual calls for them in September of 2008. I have done various installs, strikes, LX hangs, focuses, stage hand duties, and even replaced an Apprentice Assistant Stage Manager on Neptune's production of High School Musical.

  School is grooving along, and with the prospects of the Tour Tech East Ltd. All Access Trade Show and annual fundraiser coming up this week it's sure to be an exciting one.I am volunteering at Tour Tech to help with setting up some of the trade show this weekend. Then the show runs the 20th (10:00 am to 6:00 pm) and 21st (10:00 am to 3:30 pm) of January. Admission is free so come check out the latest in rock and roll technology.

  School has been going well, so far we have designed cabriole legs and started building our own stools.

My cabriole Leg design, soon to be traced on a piece of wood.

Back to Class

First day back in the Dalhousie Theatre shop was a stunning success. I was informed of my responsibilities  for my roles in the Dalhousie Music Department's Productions of Purcell's DIDO AND AENEAS, and Martinu's COMEDY ON THE BRIDGE. A third of the bridge for Comedy On The Bridge showed up today. Apparently at one time it was a polish womens porch, but not my story to tell. We also have quite the start on  the other necessary bits for the set of the operas.


If you are interested in seeing these Operas performed, they are open to the public on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of February at 7:30 pm. On February 6th there will be a 2:30 pm matinée which will be your last chance to catch these productions. Tickets are $17.50 ($12.00 for students and seniors), and are available at the Dalhousie Arts Centre Box Office (located at 6101 University Avenue), by phone at 1-902-494-3820, or online at http://artscentre.dal.ca/. Hope to see you there!
