Here, director Aaron Rossini, technical director Nate Frieswyk, and line producer Melanie Hopkins are at our production meeting after the first design run of Crystal Finn’s The Faire, discussing the schedules for load-in and tech this coming weekend. Tech is always our favorite part of the rehearsal process; it’s a time when all the elements finally come together. Sure, they’re long days and lots of manual labor, but few things are as fun as watching months and months of hard work from all the different departments all come together on a single stage.
