Opera Cleveland is seeking volunteers to be on stage at the State
Theater in Playhouse Square as "light walkers."

=20

Ever wondered what it feels like to be in the lime light?

Now's your chance to find out! After the scenery is put in place and the
lights focused on stage, the Lighting Designer and Director spend many
hours setting and adjusting light levels for every moment of the opera.
These sessions are called "Cueing sessions". In order to get everything
"just right" the creative team must have people on the stage acting as
"stand ins" for the singers and cast while the lighting is adjusted on
and around them.=20

=20

These sessions last about 4 hours. They can involve standing or sitting
for long periods of time, but in general are not strenuous or physically
demanding. Sometimes light walkers are asked to walk across the stage,
hold a prop, or wear a certain color. Mostly, being a light walker is a
wonderful glimpse into the inner workings of the artistry of opera and
stage production. There is sometimes "down" time when scenery is being
changed so you might want to bring a book, or even better bring some
"Friends" and come as a group. We usually need at least three people per
session.

=20

If you are interested in light walking, please email Cliff Wilson at
wilson at operacleveland.org or call him at 216-575-0903 Extension 211 and
he will schedule you according to your availability and the technical
schedule for the show. Cliff will tell you where to park, how to get to
the backstage entrance at Playhouse Square, and what to expect when you
arrive. We are in full swing with Salome and will be looking for light
walkers.=20

=20

Here is the schedule if you are able to participate at any of theses
times.

Here are the options - you can come to any portion of the following
sessions:

* Friday and Saturday sessions are deleted.

Sunday April 15 - 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (1 hour break)

Monday April 16 - 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (1 hour break)

Please contact me now, as the time is here.
