I ran the lights tonight
and pretty much got them right.
"Running lights" means operating the "light board" for a live show. In this case, it mostly meant hitting a button marked "GO" at the appropriate time - about 40 times or so. No big deal, especially because the woman sitting next to me was practically an expert on when to hit that button... but I never operated one before.
So running the lighting
was kind of exciting.
The show tonight was lightly attended (Thursdays can be that way) but intensely performed, and the small audience really enjoyed the show.
As a preliminary remark,
I warned the actors they might have to work in the dark.
