Moot and Whipple - Official Opening Night at Pasadena Playhouse [7/23/2005]
Mood:  rushed
Now Playing: Pasadena Playhouse
Topic: Drama
Friday's Moot and Whipple was a bit better in terms of emotional intensity and listening to each other. Scene precision was about 98% on-target. Another 90% house-fill too, audience-wise.

Walrus's acts were cancelled tonight due to a family emergency for one of the actors, and inability to pull the remainder of the cast together for rehearsals early enought to work out several more changes to the show (simplifying the sets among the top order).

Well-attended and happy crowd, in general.

Lighting cues were extended by 2 secs. fade-in/out to provide a little more drama. Sound effects were pretty tight (though we're still working on the radio opening to Moot, timing-wise).

Decided to drop additional lit cans at Moot's exit hall location during the Moot Exit in Scene 1 in order to emphasize the departure and re-appearance later.
