One Week Later...

It's hard to believe that we wrapped up the First Stage Theatre production of High School Musical a week ago! It takes up to 12 weeks to prepare a community theatre show, and it becomes so much a part of your life, there's always some decompression required after it's all done.

After the show ended last Sunday we immediately struck the set (in a "strike," you take the set apart, load it onto the truck(s) and take it back to your storage facility). However, this strike was a bit different, because about half the set didn't go back to our facility. Everyone at Wayne High School was a big help to us in our production, and they're planning to stage HSM in February, so to thank them for their help we offered to let them use our set.

So they brought a truck to our last show and carted away a significant portion of the set, which we'll get back after they're done early next year. It's one of the things I love about community theatre - the way each group is willing to offer a helping hand!

We're all in this together, you know!
