WATCH: Backstage in the Theatre Part 1 "Setting up a Show"

Rick Miller, BOOM’s writer/director/performer, takes us behind the scenes to show how the touring version is set up. Filmed on location at The Capitol Theatre in Nelson, BC, we see how such a complex multimedia show was adapted for an 8-hour setup by the theatre crew.

Learn about the technical set up and how the crew of a theatre works. Discover the various job positions in theatre, and the terminology inside a performing arts centre, as we follow the installation of a touring production into a theatre. Part 1 takes us through steps of setting up a show such as pre-hang, scrim, lighting, focus, shutter, gel, gobo, booms, and the lighting board.

Thanks to the team at the Capitol Theatre in Nelson, BC!

Loading into the Rotary Centre Kelowna: BOOM hits the BC Interior Thurs. March 5!

We were thrilled with the standing ovations at the Kay Meek Centre in West Vancouver, and now after a sunny drive through super, natural British Columbia we are preparing for the show tomorrow night at the Rotary Centre!

See @Rick Miller in the KDOONS / WYRD Production BOOM on a 4-city BC mini-tour version. For arts lovers in Vernon, Kelowna, and Nelson (and surrounding cities), this is your only chance to see BOOM on the road before it sits down in some of Canada's premiere Performing Arts Centers in the 2015-16 Season.

The show kicked off to a standing ovation at the beautiful Kay Meek Centre in West Van. There's one more show tonight there, and then it's off to the interior! Next shows in the BC tour:

Don’t miss the explosive new show that captures the defining moments of the baby-boom generation. One man, 25 years, a 100 of the world’s most influential figures. Journey from WWII to Apollo 11, from Perry Como to Elvis to The Beatles to Janis Joplin… it’s a mind-blowing theatrical experience for all generations.
