HIPPOFROG Productions

Just as quickly as it arrived, our fortnight stage managing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for Dreams’n’Wishes Productions is now over.

It included many hours of planning (some of it starting over 2 years ago), a packed scenery dock, lots of scenic movements – often at the same time, and not a lot of opportunity to stand still.

After a very busy tech week, everyone worked really hard ensuring everything was in the right place at the right time.

Just a few hours after the final show had finished, Chitty was loaded and off to her next venue. Then, by 16:00 the following day, the team had returned the theatre back to a black box, and you would never know we had been there.

Now for a little rest before we head into our next adventures…

Today the team are at starting to set up all the technical and behind the scenes magic for the upcoming Dreams’n’Wishes Productions production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

It will take lots of hours of hard work, over several days, to get everything in place, ready for when we open next weekend.
