SMNetwork Archives / on the other end of the headset spectrum
« on: Mar 23, 2005, 01:28 pm »
what if you want all wireless? Is that bad? I've never seen much point in the ones that hook you to a certain spot.
I like the ones our highschool has, but they are starting to break, so I think we'll be getting new ones next year.
They have the headset connected to a small box (which attaches to your pant pocket) and you press the red button whenever you need to talk. The only problem is that:
1-they are breaking
2-if you are standing at a certain point in the theater behind a cement wall they don't work
3-we only have 3 of them, one for stage manager, one for the light booth (spot and board controller have to share), and one for the director(who usually is running around doing Techie work (because he can't stand to sit and watch the show..he has to be involved)

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / warnings verses stanbys . . another poll
« on: Mar 23, 2005, 01:19 pm »
WAIT!!!!
what's the advantage of using standby instead of ready?!?!?
I was taught ...Lights 45 ready..(10-18 sec. interval)...GO
Is that the oldschool version? What are the advantage of using Standby?
I can see using a warning would be helpful for deck and rail cues, but its rather redundant since we don't have a fly space and use actors for any backstage techie work..(the school theater has basically no backstage/wing space and we can hardly fit all the actors back there.)

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / how do you get their attention?
« on: Mar 22, 2005, 02:27 pm »
mmm..I had the same problem with my actors in the show I just finished...Rasing my voice didn't really work at all. The only thing that worked for me was to get one of the groups going, then herd the rest onstage...so yeah, I guess that would be divide and conquer wouldn't it?
