Set building and storytelling

Jennie Lynn, one of our carpenters, removes the blue lining from the plexi-glass used on the set for Tartuffe.

Nick Hussong, the master electrician, gets help from our new sound supervisor, Carrie Cook.

(Note the rocks bordering the stage.)


Tom McCoy, the master carpenter (aka the Green Lantern), poses in our the back of our box truck with a fraction of the rocks used to line the set. They literally hauled in a ton of rocks for the set. Last year at this time, however, we had hauled in 3 tons of sand for Bloody Blackbeard.

Tom watches Jennie slice and peel the plexi lining.


I found the fireman's pole! That very pole will be used for entrances during the play...


Carrie is seen helping the unseen Scout focus some lights backstage. The little console on top of the light plot at her feet is a remote control for the light board in the booth so that they can manipulate lights while they are close to them. (Note the pole on the left.)

Shelley, our scenic artist, drafts floor designs in one of our vomitorium corridors.


Gordon Weiss & Rosey McGuire are married to each other...

... just so you know.

And, they, like most people, love listening to Preston Lane's stories about his family.


He keeps his cast enthralled.

(The punchline delivered.)

Family storytelling begets more family storytelling while on a break from rehearsal.

Preston directs TJ Austin, John Tillotson & Gordon Weiss.

Shhh... TJ Austin is hiding behind the topiary (as Damis).
