Kristi R-C AKA MissWisc replied to Ed Baker's discussion Cue Lights...Do you use them? in the group Stage Management"They are great for cueing people who are in places where they can't be reached by com. You can even set up multiple sets in different colors for different tasks occuring simultaneously. On the fly rail, an easy set up is using colored rope…"
Stuart Plymesser replied to Ed Baker's discussion Cue Lights...Do you use them? in the group Stage Management"We have six cue lights in each of our two theatres and both systems were built in-house by the electrics department before I got here. I tend to use them just for cuing actors onstage and do not use them all that much for crew cues. We…"
Richelle Thompson replied to Ed Baker's discussion Cue Lights...Do you use them? in the group Stage Management"Hi Ed,
I'm not regularly an SM any more, but I am a sound supervisor, who is responsible for the cue lights in our building - so I can tell you a lot about them!
ASF's stage managers use cue lights on 9 out 10 productions, if not 19…"
Rob Scott replied to Ed Baker's discussion Cue Lights...Do you use them? in the group Stage Management"We do not have them although there are times when it would be very useful to have them as an actor cue device. I would not choose to use them as a cue device for anyone but actors, though.

Bill Munoz replied to Ed Baker's discussion Cue Lights...Do you use them? in the group Stage Management"Yes, I love them!! It makes calling shows so much easier. As opposed to having to describe what a crew member has to "stand by" for, why not have a light do all the talking for you? ;-)

Ed Baker added a discussion to the group Stage ManagementStage Comat and Stage Management...
I teach a course in Stage Management and advise Management teams for our university's production program. I tell my students that the more familiar they become with a variety of performing arts skills the more marketable they will be in the "World". One of the skill sets that I put out there is Stage Combat and Theatrical Firearm Safety. The Winter Wonderland and Movement and Combat Education (MaCE) is offering an intensive workshop (…See More

Ed Baker commented on Jacob Coakley's blog post Inaugural Video Chat with Chauvet and LED Engin"Why the big difference between LED fixtures that (spec-wise) seem to look the same? Why would one RGB LED PAR cost $1000 and another $150, when the stats seem to match? Isn't an LED and LED?
I have a problem selling ignorant administrators on…"
