ABSTRACT

Imagine that you’re fi nally hired to design a show for a theatre at which you’ve been anxious to work. However, you’re quite disappointed when they tell you that you’ll be doing their annual production of A Christmas Carol. Even though they’ve done this show every

year, they’re excited to fi nally have a sound designer working on the play. At fi rst, you might feel like you’re walking into a creative dead end. But just imagine A Christmas Carol without sound — what did they do about effects until now? Look at this as an opportunity to make the sound in this production the best that the company has ever experienced, and they’ll wonder how they were ever able to do this show without a sound designer.
