Auntie Mame

Auntie Mame was performed in December of 1970 and the audio recording was done during the last weekend performances. This was a challenging play for the sound crew. 29 cues composed of music and sound effects were recorded, edited and prepared for the performance and played back on cue. A second sound system was deployed in a 4 speaker surround sound layout for the Fox Hunt at the end of the first act. The sound of the hunt started at the left front of the auditorium, went around the rear and ended at the right front of the auditorium.
