For this show I was able to assist with light focus on the Hawks Mainstage at the Omaha Playhouse. I was assigned the Front / Rear beams, HL splays, and HL Cove [see plot for detail]. I also worked on implementing sound effects with John Gibilisco using SFX6 software. There were several successful effects created, from layered bird noises to bomb impacts. Additionally, I took care of microphone packs and assembled / tested each unit before applying labels.

Key:

  • Yellow = Hung
  • Blue = Focused
