Much to do

Open Dream Ensemble has moved into the Stevens Center! Today and tomorrow we are teching our shows in preparation for Thursday's performances. (Yes, they are free and open to the public so make plans to join us as we celebrate our fifth season on September 3)!

This morning we had a 5:30 a.m. call to perform a series of live remotes on Fox 8. While one never knows what might happen on live television, we were surprised by the loss of the audio signal from the news desk a few times... but grateful that we were able to get the word out about Thursday's performances to a wider public.

Following the broadcast, the cast, crew, and directors put in a 5-hour tech on Dream Machines.

When I left the Steven Center this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. the 5-hour tech for Peril on the Red Planet was just beginning. It will run until 9:00 p.m.

Both shows are looking great! It is wonderful to have the opportunity to present them in a venue as beautiful and well-equipped as the Stevens Center. An awesome entrance for Peril is in the works and Dream Machines looks beautiful and dramatic with the lights provided by the expert eyes of Travis McHale.

Open Dream Ensemble is performing at the Stevens Center on Thursday, September 3. Dream Machines will begin at 6:30 p.m. and Peril on the Red Planet will follow after an intermission that will allow for stage and costume changes. Both shows are FREE and open to the public.
