I was continuously trying to fan myself with the script I was holding, but it was not laboring, however when I noticed that everyone present was doing the same I knew I had to do something… It was our second last rehearsal plus we needed to concentrate without distractions, then adjusting the temperature control settings had also not helped so I figured that the concern must be the cooling system, but later on, I went to the manager.
She too had noticed the heat, plus the change in air quality, plus talked to the people in charge of the hall.
In my view, they should have hired a service person who either once worked in the cooling industry or knew what to do to help with indoor comfort compared to the one who was there plus knew close to nothing. I later learned that he was filling in for someone who was out on sick leave, the manager told me to call the manager who in turn provided me the responsibility to call the Heating plus A/C dealer. Since I had no idea what the concern was other than the Heating plus A/C device was not laboring, I told the serviceman who I talked to that the place needed Heating plus A/C service. I was afraid that the home services provider would schedule the a/c repair the same day as our last rehearsal but luckily it was a day before which was perfect. I was there at the specified time but there was nobody. To their credit, the Heating plus A/C worker showed up ten minutes later, then he took care of the cooling system with such efficiency that I was impressed. The Heating plus A/C professional inspected the air duct plus said that it needed cleaning. With the air duct wipe plus a new a/c filter in site, my device was as nice as new.
