Tech run was a day for me to get last bits of props and costume. It was an ideal time to set up the stage and see what was left to be done. Thankfully, I did not need any more shoe boxes and the shoes we had collected and brought in ourselves was just enough. However, I did get some men’s shoes from the props cupboard so we had a variety shown on stage and then it just was not women’s shoes around the back of the stage.
Tech run was a bit up and down. We got all the lighting done (thanks to Clare being prepared and Emmie and Tamsyn staying focused throughout when they were a few hick ups). The lighting looked brilliant on the photos we managed to take. I think it fitted in really well with what we were trying portray, for example, the spot lights on the expectation and reality scenes. The spotlights on the verbatim scenes worked well too.
We did manage to get a full run after the mishap with the stage and it did run fairly smoothly. Now we just have to see what happens on show day.
