It's been a busy couple of weeks as the final preparations are made for this weekend's performance of Camelot at Huntington's City Hall Auditorium.
It takes a lot of work to put on a show like this - weeks of rehearsing lines, learning songs and dances, making costumes and other preparations.
But I wanted to pay special tribute to one of the unsung heroes of any production - the set design and construction team.
Camelot's set is big and involved, placing the castle of King Arthur alongside an enchanted forest. The job of designing the set fell to Todd Preston, who also plays the part of Sir Lancelot.
He's done an amazing job not only in planning the set but also in building it. Lots of people have helped out (including Arthur himself, Mark Baker), but the two who have worked the hardest are Todd and his co-star (and wife), Marina Jurica, who spent countless hours building and painting the walls of the castle, the covering for the trees and the rocks - they even built chairs and created decorations for the castle.
My hat's off to both of them - they've worked tirelessly on this show. I hope, gentle reader, you'll see the show and appreciate all the hard work they and the rest of the cast have put into the performance!

Thanks Chuck, we couldn't have done it without you either! This was a really sweet note! Your help was much appreciated and hopefully once I get past my lack of sleep I won't have any more burlap meltdowns! See you tonight Sir Lionel!
