Light Hang!
From 12-6pm on Sunday, October 20th the official
light hang was held. Our amazing stage managers, Merit Glover, Jake Diamond,
and Lucia Liencres, along with our directors, Mr. Howard and Dom Sayler, spent all day in Allen Theater working incredibly hard. They
spent many hours hanging and adjusting lights to shine various points on stage.
I was
lucky enough to stop by late that afternoon to get a glimpse of what was going
on. When I arrived, I saw Jake standing by the set as Mr. Howard was giving
commands for needed adjustments. Dom and Merit adjusted various lights as Lucia
programmed commands into a console. I was so impressed with how well everyone
was working together, and how great the lighting had looked. The interior of
the sets had a mesmerizing glowing effect while the rest of the stage had dark,
peaceful lighting. Seeing these cool effects really brought the set to life!
After the stage managers had finished their work, I got
to speak with them about their experience of the light hang. Merit said “[she] enjoyed getting
really high up on the ladders to hang lights” while Jake had fun “seeing the
mood of the show with the newly lit stage.” With it being Lucia’s first light
hang, she shared that “it was a lot of work and took a lot of time, but it was super
fun.
