Sound

Finding the right piece of music or the correct sound effect can help create an excellent atmosphere for a play, be it rain, hail or even a comedic punch, it all adds to the show.

The SDC use a programme called SCS (Show Cue System) which is set up before the show so that in show week, its a simple method of pressing a button for the sound effect or music to start. Getting it right can be very tricky. Also, for some musical shows, as well as effects and music we have to look after up to 18 wireless microphones. Making sure they are off and on at the right moment is down to SCS,
