Paint Day!!!
Hi all!
We are almost there! After a hard weekend of Tech, we are inching ever closer to opening this powerful piece of theatre for our audiences: Shelter!
Here's where I need your help: We need to finish the Set. There's masking to hang, paint to apply, touch up to do, chairs to load in, etc. It's not hard work, just people-intensive. Here's where you come in!
Tomorrow, 2/9 (our dark day), beginning during 4th Period Stagecraft, we'll embark on finishing the visual aesthetic of our show. If you've no 4th Period and can stop in to help: Awesome; if you've time after school until 800pm: Amazing! We'd love to have you!
Actors/Management: We know you've had a long run to this point. You'll probably need some downtime to recover and prep for the run. Take it.
Build Crews: This has been a very light process in terms of calls. Please find some time to come in, unless you absolutely cannot.
(SW)2 community (including parents!): If you can help, we can use ya.
Thanks in advance, friends! I hope to see you tomorrow afternoon between 200p and 800p.
