So, Olympia Little Theatre, where Silent Sky performed, has a video camera set up in their theater so that people who are in the lobby or in the green room can see what's happening on stage. It's just one camera above the entrance, so there's no editing. They also have a DVD recorder/burner connected to the camera so that recordings can also be made. Supposedly, they set up the DVD recorder/burner to record the last performance of Silent Sky so that at least the lead actress could send a DVD to her mother who lives (I think) in Guatemala. I was given the show disc and some blank discs so that I could make copies for anyone in the cast/crew (including me). I looked at the DVD on Sunday and IT'S BLANK! Well, it has the rings on the underside of the disc which show that something was recorded, but my own players and computer don't show anything when I tried to play it. I REALLY hope that the show is actually there, but that the process just didn't get finished on the DVD recorder/burner. I'm going the theater tonight and hopefully be able to figure out what happened.
When I played MACBETH, we had a beautiful recording made of the show, but they forgot to plug in the microphone. It was like a high quality silent movie.
