Live Sound Designer and Mix Engineer: Tim Burkhart
Costume Designer: Lindsay Pape
Scene Designer: Jim Othuse
Director: Kathy Tyree

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.

Costume Designer: Quinton Lovelace
Director: Susan Baer-Collins

Before tech, I was able to assist with light hang and do a full ‘spot focus’ to ensure fixtures were oriented correctly. This helped to speed up the process of focusing in greater detail later on. I also assited John Gibilisco with mixing, labelling, and implementing sound effects like dimensional rain (featuring backstage monitors for effect), a nest or two of birds, and peacefully grazing cattled.

Key:

  • Yellow = Hung
  • Blue = Focused
  • Red = Spot Focused
