Second Act Chaos

I've been to rehearsal every evening for Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus as I am running the light board and computer that dims the lights. The first act went well, the actors were on, the cues were flawless.

We took the break between acts and came back and nothing went right. Our spotlight guy was a tad late and had to use another light on the fly for the spot. One of the actor's child is in the show and apparently he is ADHD and can't sit still for two minutes or remember anything from five minutes ago. He jumped a large scene with a line and from then on my cues were off, several of the actors had a hard time following, and it just descended from there.

Hopefully the show tonight will be better.
