So, when can't the show go on?
Today, 17 minutes into a 3 hour 17 minute show, we ended up sending the trap through the sun roof (the sun roof cue didn't happen, but somehow the trap went up), ripping up the center of the deck, snapping a chain on the sun roof, and leave a 2 foot hole in the middle of the stage . . .
after a 35 minute hold, we canceled the show . . .
other times I have had to cancel a show . . .
4,000 seat outdoor amphitheater at night . . . lost power . . . no mics . . . apparently it's illegal to assemble that many people in an area without power . . .
Last scene of Othello . . . water pouring down from the ceiling . . . unsafe for electrics, couldn't do the last fight, could here Othello talking . . .
Share stories . . . as I am "enjoying" a little afternoon down time.
