After having spent two weeks in rehearsals this week saw StageFright leave the rehearsal hall and move into the Studio at Vertigo where it will live until October 4^th.  This past week has been what is referred to as “Tech Week” where the show gets transformed into its final product with the addition of lights, costumes and set pieces.  The cast and crew have spent tireless hours working with director Mark Bellamy and our wonderful design team: Deitra Kalyn (costumes), and Terry Gunvordah (set and lights) to bring StageFright to life.

While the cast spent Monday putting the finishing touches on the show acting wise, the crew (lead by Production Manager Caitlin Ferguson) prepared the Studio Theatre, moving set pieces, building risers and hanging and focusing lights. Tuesday was spent running the show numerous times to allow for every technical element to be tweaked to perfection. Wednesday brought an audience into the Studio for the first time as StageFright had its preview performance, followed by opening on Thursday. As the week comes to a close both cast and crew are well into the routine of the run.

On behalf of the cast and crew I’d like to thank the entire staff at Lunchbox Theatre for facilitating our needs and allowing us to make StageFright a success. I’d also like to thank our amazing volunteer ushers that make every performance possible.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at the theatre,

Alec McCauley
