Lighting:

• Can be freely adapted from the light plot.

Sound:

• Speech and music (instruments, vocals) are usually amplified, but in a small venue a PA system is not necessarily needed.
• Sound enhancement for the two actors with lavalier microphones
• One guitar amplifier (group’s own) and dynamic instrumental microphone.
• The group has their own microphones, but would like to use the venue’s microphones when possible.

Technical execution during the performance:
