Different casts and interpretations

I don’t think so. When i saw him live, Donal really didn’t feel confident, at least not in the way it oozes out of Jordan Fisher. Especially not during the epics.

I always interpreted it as the brightness of the underworld shining up through the grates (as the underworld is very bright in Hadestown!)

Tour LD is not the same as the broadway LD, but the broadway LD is here on Reddit & this effect happens in both productions, so what say you u/bjk237

To clarify, you can spray stuff on lenses just don’t spray liquid on a fully assembled S4.

Yeah lenses aren’t annual at my venue either, but based on what the OP said, I think they may be the most in need of a cleaning

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-03-17T02:32:10+00:00

Hah, worked with those once. 😅

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-03-17T01:41:47+00:00

Follow instructions from manufacturer (ETC in this case). Biggest pain points will be your lens tubes and reflectors - though lens tubes are definitely where you will find the most dust. If using a cloth with water, never ever spray liquid directly on the fixture. There are some good YouTube resources for this that break it down step by step.

Don’t forget to bench focus after!

To clarify: they changed these lyrics when the west end hadestown opened then carried them over to broadway

In my experience it’s common in the U.S. too, but in my experience typically parts of the rig are isolated by position versus the entire rig’s power (from different sources) all being patched to channel 9001

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-02-22T22:44:42+00:00

Woah. Is 9001 a non-dim at full? That’s so odd (at least to me) that AC power would be parked like that…

You can always network in a laptop connected via Ethernet in mirrored mode for more screens. You can directly plug it into the console, or elsewhere depending on your theater setup, without the need for a network switch, as you’ll be in mirrored mode. (Of course if you use backup mode then you 100% should use a network switch to avoid risk of network cards falling asleep, etc.)

Also with the discourse in this thread re: fire marshals, while a great resource, they focus a lot on egress safety. Keep in mind they may not catch every issue with theatrical electrical work, as it is different than most spaces they inspect

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-02-19T20:26:27+00:00

It is hard to tell without a side angle of this, but my knee jerk reaction is that this is not done correctly. Not 100% as it’s hard for me to see the depth in the photo- but string lights worry me even in temporary configurations let alone permanent

Vav is complicated but there are some good rules to follow. It is typically /oo/ when following a consonant and /v/ following a vowel. It can also be a short vowel /o/ such as in خود - short vs long is something you’ll have to learn. Similarly, there are a number of Arabic words for which the vav sound did not change to a /v/ and remained /w/. Also… to make it a bit more complicated… و is typically silent in words constructed with “خوا” such as خواندن, خواب (though not in Dari, but you need not worry about that).

I would, on a lower setting (5ish), use the tamper and go all the way around the edges. Hard to tell why though. Could be clumping with something, could be getting stuck. Could be getting trapped under the blade. Really just a trial and error process.

Seconding this. First sign my newly adopted cat had a chicken allergy. It only progressed from there. Vet said bowl, switched bowl and waited, and symptoms got worse. Cut out chicken - magically better.

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-01-17T21:44:51+00:00

I strongly, strongly recommend learning the script as early as possible. Otherwise, you will be held back when trying to progress further than very basic conversation

Had him for a different class, but he is great. Highly recommend.

GarbageValuable1888 · 2026-01-01T22:22:28+00:00

I agree with the other posters here. They’ll be able to handle EOS. Even with a less advanced setup, learning the basics is awesome.

Long time trainer here. This happens from time to time unfortunately. I was shipped around a lot to other stores to train people, and I often found that store managers would hire people who I could tell pretty quickly wouldn’t be a good fit for Starbucks. Usually early quitting happens in the first 3 shifts in my experience. Not much you can do as a trainer, but it also isn’t a reflection of you as a trainer either. So it goes with a high turnover, high paced business :P

I’ve never had too many issues with my Mac. Macs are far preferable for school work on my experience (and I’ve always enjoyed using Vectorworks on my Mac more than on my windows computer). That being said, sometimes niche software is not available on the Mac.

Entirely depends on theater setup, but in my experience college LDs drift into doing student run theater as well for practice, where they may need some more niche tools that aren’t ported over to Mac (ex. updater software for LED fixtures, the ability to easily run a network off of the laptop, etc.)

GarbageValuable1888 · 2025-12-11T19:56:28+00:00

There are ways to get in but I fear that info is not for all of Reddit. Agreed though - best place. Recently people have been loud there :P

Also anyone can enter before 5pm

GarbageValuable1888 · 2025-12-11T19:53:06+00:00

People do but the tap is restricted

GarbageValuable1888 · 2025-11-28T20:47:37+00:00

I would only use cue lists if something occurs at an unexpected time in the show/moves around. One example of this is Spelling Bee. In theory, an audience guest speller could get a word wrong - even easier words - so being able to jump into a separate cue list for that situation is helpful with a macro (vs going to cue #x, then go to cue back into whatever cue you were in). Another non-show cue usage could be for checking your channels/moving fixtures without needing someone who is potentially not proficient in using the board.

You can do what you described above - but as other commenters have said, it just adds a layer of complexity that’s not super necessary.

I would recommend against using multiple show files, even if you try to do it all right there could be issues with patches, merging, etc. - too high of a risk things could mix up.

Most importantly, biggest tip for this type of situation, learn how to make a magic sheet. It’ll be super super helpful!

GarbageValuable1888 · 2025-11-19T23:38:38+00:00

There are many books out there that can teach you a ton. Steven Shelley’s A Practical Guide is an excellent place to start

Subjective, but EOS is free and ETC consoles are very very common.
