Late Night

Yesterday afternoon was once again spent painting the drop. I think, I hope, that we are nearly finished with it. Creating a fairground is no easy task, especially once that's 20 by 38 feet (that's the official measurement, anyway). I started doing my actual job, running the fly, at last night's rehearsal--no easy task as several of the lines had been incorrectly counterweighted. After rehearsal, myself and one of the larger cast memebers fixed everything up as best we could. The grand drape frightens me. The rope isn't taut when it's locked off, but when I unlock it, it doesn't go anywhere, and it doesn't pull away, so it is balanced. But something isn't quite right. This will require further inspection tonight.
