Sound:
with the sound… i am currrently downloading 80s music which will be played throughout our play. thursdaylunchtime me and jono will be going on the Apple computers and will be using a program called garage band in order to get other sounds which our cast can also use throughout after dinner..
eg: waiter calling, cuttlery sounds…. background music, coming into the restaurant music, exiting and various other sounds.
i am goin to go through the script of after dinner and write down possible times to put in sound for example
chef calls “order up”..or kitchen sounds
thats it for now.
thank you come again.

the set will…eventually come to life:

the prints on the wall will be pictures of dogs playing poker and kendone paintings. these are both very 80’s, dogs playing poker pik is very Rsl bistro theme.
On the tables, there will be menus, 48..for each performance…, ashtrays (tin ones), salt and pepper shakers, metal menu holders..will need to get six , and flower vases with fake flowers.. (approx 12)
Mel need to meet with u and talk about all these objects for the tables.

For dressing the set, on the tables i think chequed table cloths would suit perfectly. The colours for the audience tables should differ from the actors’ ones.
Im thinking… red and white for audience tables and blue and white for actors’ tables.

ok..about organising tables and chairs..
there will be 10 rectangular trestle tables and 60 chairs for audience
and 2 round shaped tables and 6 diff chairs for actors

the 10 rectangular tables are at school..i just have to measure them and work out the fitting of them to the space.

the 2 round tables for the actors have to be hired. i have found a place in port melbourne which does hiring for approx. two weeks which will be perfect.. it is called place settings and the website is www.placesettings.com.au check out what tables they have..i have looked at the website to..just have to decided which ones we like and then send an email..and they will give me a quote for the 2 tables.

for the six chairs for the actors tables, i have found a place which is called Pylo steel furniture and would you believe it…IS actually on Burwood Hwy and they do hiring also for approx two weeks. I described to a worker there, on the phone aobut our play and setting, and they do have some chairs which may be probable. i have to visit there…and see which chairs would be good.

The 2 actors tables will be on a platform which will have carpet on it (to reduce shoe/chair noise) and will be either 2 platforms (one for each table) or 1 big one.

The carpet will just have to be covering the platforms…thats all..all we need is old carpet..mond…said he has some old creme coloured stored in a room or something..maybe if you could bring it to school..or take a picture or something ot show me/us..
if anyone is doin renovations /knows of anyone having renovations done, ask about any old/spare/used carpet available.

The dancefloor: it will be black and white cheque
im goin to visit places like bunnings to inquire about black and white chequed lino ..the dance floor only needs a couple of square metres.

thats whats goin down so far with set…ill get back to you all laters..
ciao
