So I guess sound, lighting and projections are rejected to second class design status. Or not even considered designs at all? Typical for sound, we are used to it. So I’m afraid I will have to boycott and not take part unless that is fixed.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

It’s just frustrating that this kind of stuff still happens. To anyone that thinks sound is not important come by a rehearsal someday and I’ll turn off all the mics for a musical and see how enjoy the show. Unless it was written at least 40+ years ago, I doubt you’ll enjoy it much. Or try a show like Wings or just about any play written by one of my favorite playwrights and friend Eric Coble sans a good sound design…. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1f497d">J</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
