THE MIRACLE WORKER 2/15/10

Circle In The Square is a challenge for every show with its horseshoe seating and stage entrances through vomitories on either end but THE MIRACLE WORKER does miracles with flying props and pop-up scenery pieces. Sound Designers Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen are up to the task finely tuning overhead microphones for delicate voice reinforcement to the 600 patrons. QLab is the playback of choice for original music and effects created by the sound design team. Twenty Meyer UPA, UPJ and USW mains surround the stage with EAW and Martin boxes carrying the sound to the outer reaches. Jim Bay mixes the rig from a control room on a Yamaha DM2000. Carl Tramon recorded and synchronized the ShowTrans, I-Caption, and D-Sciptive systems designed by Sound Associates VP Engineering Mark Annunziato, for patrons with special needs.
