This is "tech week" where we squeeze in getting a set assembled from transportable parts, put in place, finish painting, fixing glitches, and on-site work, all between rehearsals in the evening.   Here's a before from Saturday morning and tonight before rehearsal starts.  So proud of my granddaughters, one has a leading role and the other a secondary role (not part of an ensemble).

 

That's quite the transformation Keith.  How many helpers do you have on this project?

And you ought to be proud of the granddaughters

That is really cool Keith. What a great group of grandpa's we have here!

Great looking set.  Lots of work there.

Not nearly enough help.  Since the theater is much smaller than the one we've been using (that is under renovation), it's a much smaller cast and limited to K-8 actors.  So we didn't get the usual parent help. High schoolers were enlisted as "student staff"  There were basically three of us - the regular set construction leader, a senior in high school as student leader, and me.   There were a few other parents that showed up irregularly.   We have one woman who does all the decorative painting and a few others that do general painting.    Overall, I'd say we had an average of six workers each Saturday for the last 10 weeks (less a snow day or two).  There's a whole other crew that does costuming.  And the directorial, music, accounting, and production staff.

The set looks fabulous, Keith. Congrats to those girls.

So, I'm guessing the "Frog" and "Toad" are the parts your granddaughters are playing?  Anyway, do you know what happens when a frog double parks?

 

 

 

Wait for it...

 

 

 

It gets toad (towed).  

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I made this sign for my mother who was big time into frogs, and birds, and bears, and deer....
