[SML] it's quiet... too quiet.

[Richard John Archer]

Yes…it made the news here last Feb or so.  They announced you’d be here for two months,  arriving sometime in September for technical rehearsals before Oct/Nov run.    Jersey Boys did the same remount residency last  year for three weeks in Sept.  and brought  $2 million or so into the economy.  Glad to see my taxes supporting the arts and the arts supporting the community.  Thank you NYS tax credit.


Should be interesting….Syracuse’s typical  120”+  of snow  doesn’t  usually start   until the first week of Nov …although….  And for our SML listers….It’s good, but  I don’t know about two months of Dinosaur BBQ.

This rebuild is largely about modernizing the equipment and materials. In electrics land, it means getting rid of 15 year old dimmer doublers, MR16 mini strips, and similar outdated gear to switch to more LED, more modern moving

It's going to be a job to find time to shower, much less do anything fun. I'm hoping, once the show is officially opened, to have a little more time to breathe. I will keep you all posted.
