Burning Chrome

Automatic Jack and Bobby Quine outside the Gentleman Loser.
We started rehearsing 'Burning Chrome' this week and boy oh boy is this going to be tricky. Attempting to represent "cyberspace" on stage is an interesting challenge, on par with staging dreams. 'Burning Chrome' is a VERY technology-based story and luckily we have some very technical people. The lighting crew is happy to be doing something other than "daytime", "twilight", and "nighttime", but now they want money to buy all the new color LEDs, like tangerine and aqua. I can tell you RIGHT NOW that this is going to be one of those horribly over-budget shows. It will probably be the coolest one ever, but somebody is going to have to send a letter out to The Patrons begging for more "generous gifts". Hmm, I wonder who'll have to do that?
