THAT DEER IN THE KLIEG LIGHTS LOOK

posted by Michael Chihak

The crew for Arizona Week held its first dress rehearsal today in KUAT-TV's Studio A. All went fairly well for setup, lighting, camera work and every other technical aspect of the operation.

Of course, all of those tasks were handled with aplomb by the experienced studio crew, including several students who work for Arizona Public Media.

The host, yours truly, got more comfortable -- or shall we say less uncomfortable -- as the rehearsal progressed. Yet the feeling of relief was stronger than the feeling of confidence at the end of the 90-minute session.

More to come, including another rehearsal on Thursday, all aimed at get us ready for the Jan. 14 debut of the program.

We're looking forward to bringing viewers a solid half-hour of in-depth exploration and discussion of issues important to all Arizonans.
