I am looking for information on how digital Programs is working for other schools. Are you getting a lot of pushback? Are you completely digital with no programs at all? Are you having issues with phones lighting up the auditorium during the show? Thanks. -- *The information contained in this message ...

Hello- After I had a great time researching and actually making fireworks in my backyard I finally bought the string poppers for the fireworks onstage. For the red flame I actually took a AA lithium battery apart (carefully) and unrolled the lithium. I cut it into about two inch pieces and put it in ...

I know this isn’t the place, but anyone at ITF with 6 tickets to Cinderella on Friday who might not need them?

Hello- We Video is pretty basic in the free version, but has some nice features if you pay for it.  IMovie is great if your students have Iphones or Macs.  Another software that is nice but can be complicated is Hit Films Express.  It is very similar to Adobe Premiere.  It may have some issues with ...

Hello- We did the show several years back and bought Mehron Paradise AQ makeup since it is water based.  We bought most of it off of Amazon rather than the more expensive places.  Another thing we did is for the lower cut or short sleeve costumes where we needed more makeup we actually used Acrylic white ...

A scene that could be fun and start a film study would be The Tarantino Variation.  Another scene that is fun is Playwriting 101: The Rooftop Lessons. ------------------------------ Andrew Fisher Canon City CO ------------------------------

Funny you should ask.  I am getting ready to do a similar effect in a couple of weeks.  When I did it before we used a long piece of muslin and had 2 people shake it from both sides.  The muslin was not as fluid as I wanted.  With practice it would probably work very well if your shakers don't get nervous ...

I am trying to put a package of microphones together for our productions.  Can anyone give me some feedback on which headsets would be best to use, that won't give me a lot of "feedback".  I am looking to use 16 mics and using Audio Technica systems.  So what works best, Countryman, Audio-technica, Acacia, ...

Sure Elizabeth. My light board is a ETC Ion. Which I give them the basics of how to record cues and subs and control the color picker for the ETC D-40 LEDs. We have 75 or so ETC Source four elipsoidals as well as 75 D-40s and 16 Altman LED Flood lights. I have an Allen and Heath ZED 22 sound mixer. ...

I don't have text suggestions, but if you have access to your theater here is a general idea of some of the things I do.  First is vocabulary. We go to the stage and layout what everything is and stage directions.  Then I teach lighting and lighting design. I give them a basic tutorial on our light board ...

Does anyone know what the reference to paper dolls in the opening scene refers too. Why would it be illegal? Also why would Sara know by the two pair of pants in “I’ll Know”? -- *The information contained in this message is covered by all Federal and State laws (specifically, 45 C.F.R. § 164.306, ...

I have used Eartech for a little over a year now.  We love them.  An added feature to the hub system is that with a second hub you can connect up to 14 headsets.  Also, we had a mic stop working and they fixed it at a reasonable price and quickly. ------------------------------ Andrew Fisher Canon ...

I did the show in 6 weeks several years ago.  It can work because of the limited set.  Also, I split the Stage Manager character into 2 people so that the memorization was not as difficult.  Another factor that you have to consider is the dedication of the students.  I was lucky enough to have very dedicated ...

I am one of the lucky ones. My district was able to replace our lighting system with a much more up to date ETC system. However, now I am faced with another problem. What do I do with the extra Fresnels, Altman Ellipsoidals, and flood lights. Any one have some suggestions. ------------------------------ ...
