Today Aaron and I sat with Jeremy and Matt over lunch for 2.5 hours discussing improvements we’d like to make this week. There are a zillion technical particulars to refine, and that will be a fulltime job over the next few days of previews.

Today’s particular task was to make the dagger apparition work in a more surefire, precise way. In the live theater we’re not dealing with mass production; we’re dealing with precision hand-work, craft and art, not machine production. Every show is a walk across a tightrope and we need to make that happen nightly and certainly.

So those of you who are seeing previews please be prepared to cheer us on. This is still a work in progress. Be a little understanding if an apparition stutters. They’re still learning to appear.
