Sunday 3rd + 10th, Tuesday 12th + Friday 15th August 2025
Stage Manager - Ingrid Mengdehl
I attended 2 technical rehearsals at the external venue where they were reahersing. I shadowed the follow-spot caller and assisted with loading and unloading set pieces and sound equipment. During dress rehearsals at the Bristol Hippodrome, I shadowed and operated follow spots, stepping in when FS1 (LX Programmer) was occupied during the first technical run.
On the Friday show day, for the matinee performance, I shadowed the follow-spots and operated the second act, and for the evening performance, shadowed the fly crew during the first act and the LX operator for the second act. This experience provided valuable insight into professional theatre and the coordination required to deliver a seamless show.
