This is turning into the play from HELL! 3 cast members are sick now, And no, I did not do it!! I sit way in the back and yell to be heard so I wont infect the cast.
Tonight we were sposed to film the commercial for the cable network. I had all the light cues programed in, just needed to hang a few lights but that was tomorrow. Tyler took the Horizon box, and the lap top back up to the light booth and when he re connected it he stuck the interface parrallel plug into the wrong port on the laptop, which (a scuzzy something) and it broke two pins, and fried the Horizon box, which is the small 1000.00 dollar unit that tells the dimmers when to go off and on. so all of our lights were unable to work. SO the commercial was canceled, and the man has to run to Seattle tomorrow and get a new Horizon box so we can run the show. I hope.
THe DIrector is having a fit! but it will all come together. The Villian still did not know his lines or his blocking tonight, and I'm not sure he ever will. He could not even ad lib them. CHRIST ALMIGHTY!
When ever we have a show that is having major problems, we remember that the good luck hex sign was missing. It is a mouse hole painted somewhere on the set, usually unnoticeable by the audience. We do not have one on our set. But come Hell or High water, By tomorrow night we will have at Least ONE Mousehole, complete with mouse. We do not need any more problems.
Wish us luck....
