Picnic in Tech Rehearsals

The moon rises above the buildings downtown during tech rehearsals for Picnic.


Beth Ritson, Cheryl Koski, & Lorraine Shackelford relax as an entrance is restaged with light.


Preston Lane, Kate Muchmore, Sasha, and Kelsey Hunt watch from the seats.


Kate Muchmore (assistant director), Howard Jones (scene designer), & John Wolf (lighting designer).


Emily Mark as Christine Schoenwalder.


Meg Steedle as Madge asks for her cue.



Preston at tech notes at the end of the day following rehearsal. Tech notes happen after every technical rehearsal and performance preview. All the designers, the director, and the crew get together to go over what needs to be fixed, changed, adjusted, reblocked, refocused, hemmed, or painted.


Amy Peter (props master) talks with Tom McCoy (master carpenter).


Amy creates prop newspapers with actual articles from 1950s newspapers. You will be able to see Amy's handywork on display in our lobby.


Lighting design by John Wolf.


David Smith (sound designer) talks with Preston Lane (director) as Meg listens.


Joe Tippett as Hal relaxes as lights are adjusted.


Amy Peter & Howard Jones wait to redress the laundry lines with new linens.



Donna Bradby (choreographer) watches the dance scene.



Amy da Luz & Jim Crawfor relax as sound & lights are adjusted for their scene.



Beth, Lorraine, & Amy.



Beth & Preston ponder milk.



Christina & Kate search for a snap.



Preston sometimes sits that close in order to get an audience's perspective from the front row and also to check sight lines.



Preston & Beth.
