PROPS:


NEW - Green drapes are a yes - would be on a rod above window and we need to add tie backs as well

NEW - Anyway to fix big suitcase so when opened does not slam shut? Tito is going to hold open but having a backup to keep it propped open would be great

NEW - Need to add bed skirt, sheets, pillowcase, and somehow cover end of mattress with comforter add-on

NEW - Can we add some elastic or styrofoam to hold Chianti bottle, pill bottle and corkscrew in small suitcase so don't move around too much?

NEW -Need Cleveland phone book - covers have to be soft since gets thrown on floor

NEW - Spray paint the mirror nickel and frost mirror

NEW - Need chair seat covered in different fabric

NEW - Need to add thick padding to headboard

NEW - For "fake" garment bag, need the plastic covered up with something, maybe label for local store?


SOUND:


NEW - SQ 1.35 into 1.4 - Please check that not overlapping (may have been user error that both played)

NEW - SQ 1.5 - Needs to be louder by about 10%

NEW - Possible to add fade into the board for Act I, Sc 2 change so SM can take out duet music in time for bellhop voice overs?  SQ 1.6 ; Bellhop is SQ 2.01


LIGHTING/FX:


NEW - LQ 2.8 - For spot into Tito waking up - need to make slower expansion (2 secs) to catch Tito

NEW - Need some brighter light backstage for actors to clean off makeup (can we put a brighter light behind hallway wall and maybe someplace near SL wing for Max's change to Tito)

DONE - Need to redo outlet for radio so not on a dimmer but is practical. (Radio is top plug, lamp is bottom plug)  Thanks Phil!!

NEW - Need more light on the chair (lots of shadow)

NEW - LQ 2.1 Can the lights be isolated more when the bedroom lights are switched on so not a big effect in overall lighting for stage?

NEW - LQ 2 has shadow area on CS near phone and connecting door - can this be illuminated more?


SET:


Modifications to set needed:


Need to brace the two wall extensions and the window flat.  When the actors use the table or slam the living room door, the walls move quite a bit.


NEW - Can we turn the sconces to face up instead of down?  

NEW - The wall sconce SL of the window is not even with the one SR of window.  Is there anyway to adjust so even?


Furniture needed:
