Sheppy'S World

That’s what they say, whoever they are…

I happen to think they are right. Every day offers new opportunities to learn and contribute.

Here’s a “for instance”…..

I am a member of another drama group locally. We put on new works, generally by one of the two founders, along with adaptations of lesser known classics. Acting has long been a passion, musical theatre is great and I love the occasional supporting artist job that I manage to secure, but acting really is still “it” for me.

Unable to commit to the rehearsal schedule for the latest production, I offered to be stage manager and organiser of music & noises. We already have a set builder and a set designer and jolly good they are too.

And so to the learning opportunity. My mate that does this stuff professionally (extremely well, too) recommended a funky App for my so far under-stretched MacBook. I am now the proud user of a marvellous piece of software called “Qlab”. It is an absolute revelation and a joy to learn.

This play will enjoy magnificent sound effects, fabulous continuity music and a very satisfying period feel suitable to its 1930’s setting.

At least that’s the plan!
