Thanks to all who came out in the rain for last night’s show and a really great OpenForum talkback afterwards—I think we just about had the entire audience join us for the discussion. And a special thanks to Colin Hovde for bringing in a group of designers from the Kennedy Center’s foreign exchange program who made up most of the crowd.
Naturally a lot of the conversation covered the technical side of the show, from the fact that we had our sound designer playing tracks with us in rehearsals, to the number of cues in the show (over 300, according to super SM Jenn, 100 of which happen in the 1st 10 minutes of the play!) and the seamless collaboration between lights & sound, as well as our fantastic costumes. We also touched on the aggressive nature of the play and the production as a whole, from Rivera’s arresting words, to the enveloping design and the heightened performances. It was a fantastic conversation and thanks again to all who made it out.
