Tonight's performance of "The House at Pooh Corner" was good, acting-wise, but fraught with technical issues. The sound designer (and the director's husband) was in the theater tonight before I got there (and I got there late, so that didn't help), but he brought back his laptop where the sound program is stored on. He set it up and it seemed to work, we didn't have time to test it all because the audience was starting to come in. The main speakers worked, but we didn't realize that a switch on the output cable dongle thingy (technical term) was switched off and the third speaker basically wasn't working. The off-stage voices didn't speak (only three or four lines were dropped), but the actors adjusted perfectly. I eventually figured it out before too long. After the speaker got switched back on, it was all hunky-dorey for the rest of the show.
