Liam's step by step guide to the Get-In!

This week we have had the interesting challenge of a split week. Monday and Tuesday at South Hill Park in Bracknell...

and Wednesday - Saturday at the Hawth in Crawley.

As you can imagine, most of the week has been spent assembling and dismantling the set. Due to the incredible efficiency of our production team, (and a little "help" from Liam) it all ran rather smoothly. I say help, Liam photographed much of the Crawley Get-In... - (Which was actually great, as now we can show you!)

The floor is in! (Mmmm, Gareth wishing he was James Bond)

10am - Stage Right (church facade) is built

10.13am - It's up!

10.25am - Hard at work assembling Stage Left

10.38am - Stage Left is up! 

11.13am - The Upstage raised level is assembled...

Careful up there Tim S!

11.40am - Stairs up to balcony are up!

11.50am - Balcony is up 

Liam being "manly"

12.13pm - the doors are in!

12.30pm - Set is up. Now for Girders, Set dressing, Lighting and Sound...

Not bad for a morning's work. All that before lunch and that was with Liam distracting them! It seems they have it down to a fine art.

The cast are often the last to arrive on get-in day, so I really knew very little about the process myself. So as much as it pains me to say...thank you muchly to the Goose for recording it.

Next week we go up to North Wales for a week at Venue Cymru, Llandudno. I am very excited to be back on Welsh soil and with many a trip already planned, we are sure to make up for the recent slump in fun points ;-)
