Surprise!

We changed the performance venue.

After a Thursday morning meeting and a couple of phone calls, the production team decided to move the performances out of the Sanctuary and into the Gym.

This means we can rehearse in our actual performance space, which is a huge asset. We can also set up the scenery (read - the ARK) much sooner and start to work with it sooner. Since we are using a 2-level ark, this will be incredibly helpful.

Another positive is that the Gym is a smaller space than the Sanctuary. Sight lines should be better for the audience. Also, it will be easier to fill the house and performing to a full house is always better!

The only possible negative we could think of is the sound issue. Being a Gym, it is a pretty resonant place. However, the positives were so strong, we decided we could work with this.
