Co-producer Harrington attributes the failure to find a permanent technical director to a shortage of "TDs" on campus.
"For the most part, most of the people that could have done it were already busy," he says.
As a result, Scully, co-producer Elizabeth H. Feakins '99, Harrington and others picked up the slack in building the set.
"While we don't have a TD per se, we do have people fulfilling the roles of a TD in addition to their other roles with the show," Harrington says.
Starting with load-in on April 18, tech work had been done at the Loeb. But the production process began long before that. The producers had an initial meeting with Packer in December, and Scully met with Packer in January to discuss potential designs.
Harrington says he has spent six to 10 hours working on the show each day during the past two weeks. Though Harrington is not "on call" at specific times like the actors, he said he has to be prepared to do something for the show at all times.
"Producers are like a doctor, you're on call 24 hours," seven days a week, he says.
