Preparing for the shoot

So I have gotten into the theater early. It's time to choose a place to sit down. We got performers already coming in, getting ready to start rehearsing. I've got some time to do this because of the access we have had. If you're walking in with the crowd, you are going to have to make this decision pretty quickly. Obviously if you've got a predefined seat, you don't have much choice. So where do I begin if I have got the whole auditorium to choose. Where am I going to sit? Well, I have got a lot of different options. First of all, obviously I've got these poles in the way, which are a drag. I don't want to be behind them. You might think, well, I am going to be right in the front row so that I can really see. Well that is one choice, and I am probably going to do some of that. Bear in mind that when I am right down here and looking up at the performers and that's not always the most flattering angle, particularly with stage light behind them. I think it's going to work okay in this…
