Tech for The Lark was no picnic, but it was certainly one of the easier ones I can remember. Everyone was on their toes - costumes were hemmed & 'fixed' quickly, lights were pretty well set from the top, set construction was done before actors were even called - and there were plenty of Twizzlers, Kit Kats, almonds, oranges, apples, and Trail Mix for all!
We also have a group with a great sense of humor - at one point, someone decided that the music for the show was great and all, but maybe the closing moment could use a modern flare (heh heh "flare"!). Why not have Joan come back on stage to Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire"? Too subtle? Not to worry - our intrepid lead posted to her facebook, asking friends to share any songs about fire or burning they could think of. With 99+ comments, I see an anthology in the works - some of my personal faves:
Springsteen: I'm on Fire
The Trammps: Disco Inferno
Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire
Blue Oyster Cult: Burnin' For You
Bob Seger: Fire Lake
Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water
Jerry Lee Lewis: Great Balls of Fire
Martha & The Vandellas: Heat Wave
James Taylor: Fire & Rain
Adele: Set Fire To The Rain
Fun: We are young (so let's set the world on fire)
Def Leppard: Pyromania
Garth Brooks: Standing Outside The Fire
Bon Jovi: Blaze of Glory
Metallica: Fuel
NIN/Johnny Cash: Burn
Elvis: Burning Love
