Today Sherbet Lemon Theatre premiered The Truth About Bedtime… and we as a company are still blown away from the reception we received from our audience! All of the technical elements of the show ran smoothly and gave the desired effects of ‘sweet’ and ‘sour’ which I wanted. We managed to complete a cue to cue and an open dress run, as our evening performance had sold out. In terms of sound there were a few level changes, and in terms of lighting, I raised the percentage of the flood in the insomnia scene to 20%, as we wanted all slow movements to be clearly seen from the audience members.
I was nervous before the doors opened to the theatre but as soon as I started greeting audience members a lot of that fear disappeared, as we were getting to know the audience members before the performance.
If I were to do anything differently I would definitely look into composing more original music for the show with the help of our director, Emelia!
The Truth About Bedtime… was an amazing experience, and I would be more than happy to carry this theatre company on in the upcoming years! Here are a some of my favourite images taken during our dress run which showcases some of the lighting I designed:

Firstly Congratulations, the performance was brilliant! the hot drinking chocolate and the blankets before the show were a really nice touch and I loved how the cast engaged with the audience before the show and during. I liked how they used real life experiences in the performance, some serious and some funny 🙂 The humour was spot on and very funny and the reaction from the audience said it all. I would happily pay to see this performance again. Well Done to all involved. x
