My role in the production was to operate theatre lights (working along side with Kailey). We were to stand in the mezzanine where the lighting box was and read/follow the script throughout all four performances, and operate certain lights on cue. We would take it in turns of wearing the headset to communicate with Mr. Schnieder, listen to his instructions/cues & then pass on to the other teammate who was not wearing it. A duty involved with our role was to turn on the lighting box about an hour before the show and start warming the lights up, usually up to about 20%. We were to do this at all four productions, and similarily, at the end of each production put all switches down & turn off the main button. We were more successful than not, and our successes were; working well as a team, communicating, helping eachother out and more so than not - making the cues on time. A few difficulites we faced was the 'chase' button occasionally not working, which threw us out with a few of the cues. Over all, we worked successufully.
