5 min	transition to Killian
25 min	Killian

After the practice, you will return to 1-134 with your costumes and props.

Preparation

All necessary props and costumes should be at MIT by Saturday. The staff is doing this, but if team is getting anything, it needs to have arrived by Saturday.

Prototypes should be demonstrable and preferably finished by the dress rehearsal.

Team should have practiced their 2-minute presentation together a few times before the dress rehearsal.

Audio Support

f your toy has audio or your PLAYsentation will include audio elements, please see the audio page for details about deadlines and special audio testing sessions.

Light Testing

If your toy has light effects and your dress rehearsal is during the day, and your Monday PLAYsentation will be in the dark (presenting 10th or later), please have a teammate come back to test your toy prototype in the dark, from 11-11:30 PM on Sunday. Please RSVP for light testing here. The stage tech staff need to figure out what to do so that the audience will be able to see the light effects on your toy. The teammate who attends should know how the toy works (e.g., how to turn it on and trigger the light effects).

The teams that have signed up to light test are:
