17 SCREENS AND COUNTING

Right now, if you went into The MAX Theatre, you would easily think you were at NASA.

There are 17 computer screens up and running in order to tech our production of ACE. It's like Mission Control. We have lighting, sound, projections, sets, automation, and the stage manager all on computers. The lighting department alone has 9 screens! You can see how complicated this production is. It took us 5 hours to get thru 28 cues. And we're moving along; it's coming together.

The cast arrive here on Friday and have been busy ever since. They are in great sprits and loving life in Shirlington.

Today, we’re putting in some new scenes. And orchestra rehearsals begin today as well. So every room at Signature is now filled with ACE. This week will be tough with long hours and getting the show together by the weekend. But I know, come August 26, you’ll see a truly amazing piece of theater.
