| Zion Passion Play
April 4-19, 2003 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Zion Passion Play has been performed
by Christ Community Church in Zion IL for 65 years, using 3
purpose-built facilities. For 2003, the existing Christian Arts Auditorium was significantly upgraded
and the production was complete re-designed. The show was produced by Ron Arden and brillantly
directed by Cynthia Hughes. Jan Lavacek designed the set. These shots are from the two final dress
rehearsals.
The theatre is an older 500-seat procesnium, with dead-hung pipes over a very deep stage. Including the apron, the stage is nearly 50' deep, and contains two 25' turntables just US of the plaster line. Due to limited budget and power, we used only 102 instruments and 92 dimmers, but gained a lot of flexibility by including eight StudioColor 575s. Control was a 192-channel ETC Express 48/96. Bonus points if you spot the effects from my ill-fated attempts to use R74 in 6x9s for toplight, or either Ron (the producer) or Cynthia (the director) taking notes in the shadows.

Andy Hollard unpacking rentals. Andy and especially Ed Spohr and Carl Klawonn
(not pictured) rebuilt much of the theatre's rigging for this production.

Andy gets ready to hang a StudioColor. With dead-hung pipes 27' in the air, we
had to find a way for just one person to hang the SCs. Andy solved it w/this method of using
the lift.

Laurie Deeds (left, who loved the lift so much we couldn't get her down!) and our
SM Dee Saffold, who jumped in help w/lights.

| Cueing |
As long as you don't outright copy the show, you can even download
my cueing for this production. This is a show file for an
ETC Express 48/96 (s/w v3.1). You can look at the cues in this file using ETC's
offline editor.
