The Load-In

I've gotten a couple days out of the shop and into the theaters to help set up the sets for our upcoming shows. Loading in a show is always more of a rush and is what really sets theatre apart from other construction jobs.



I've been working in the Stage Theater most recently laying out the deck for Dracula. nothing to interesting yet, but it's cool to see the stage as a blank slate before we take it over with scenery.



The Space Theatre is our theater-in-the-round location where House Of Spirits will be. It's hard to see with the work lights on, but if you squint you can see the hanging birdcage that was upside down in the shop before.



These vom walls were my first project this year. Pretty simple stuff, but it's nice to see it in it's spot after it's been sitting in the shop for a month now.



The Ricketson Theater is literally packed with scenery, including the windows and doors I made earlier. I couldn't take any full stage shots due to rehearsal, but I managed to take a quick pic of my door on the all grey tone set.



So the next week or so will see me over here setting the stages. And after that, we got three more shows to build.
