Nov 2021 - Nov 2021
I worked closely with a large amateur society on this newly created compilation show "Destination Anywhere" featuring 42 musical numbers from shows the society has performed in the past. I put the book together placing 579 lighting cues, 135 AV cues, 12 Fly cues, Standbys and Backstage calls onto the musical scores, and even sourced a score for one of the dance numbers so that I could cue musically. I liased closely with the Stage Manager, and occasionally acted as a go-between for the company and venue. With a handful of numbers from track, but the majority being lead by MD and pit band, I called some particularly fast sequences to Footloose, Just Arrived and Ex-Wives, and operated the all the AV cues and Tabs alongside calling the LX.
