Question

jackie made subtle adjustments to the lighting board from the darkness of the tech booth. she grinned with satisfaction hearing the crowds collective gasp when the curtain lifted for the start of the second act. weeks of hard work building the set were paying off; this was definitely her best technical work of the season. comfy in her oversized black sweatshirt, she re - checked the sound cues for act ii.
