The Board of Trustees of Triad Stage met at our shop located off Swing Rd. in west Greensboro. Typically, the board meets at the theater downtown, but we wanted them to see where production team works & creates. They were able to meet most of the staff (who weren't loading in the
Oleanna set) and tour the facilities. Many are sitting on chairs from the furniture stock we have out there, as well. The room you see them in now is the paint room where very large pieces of scenery can be painted and stored.
Christy Wright (production manager), Steven Box (director of sales & marketing), and Kathy Manning (vice-chair board member) look on as matters are discussed.
We had an invited artists panel to come talk to the board about being an artist at Triad Stage. Donna Bradby gestures as Krista Hoeppner and Beth Ritson look on.
Board members Hayes Clement, Ron Johnson, & Willie Taylor listen to the artists panel as Rich looks on.
Sherry Barr (director of audience services), Beth Ritson (actor), Donna Bradby (director & choreographer) and David Smith (sound designer).
The shop's main floor where sets are built in large pieces and then taken apart for transport and then loaded into the theater and put together onstage.
Managing Director Rich Whittington shares a little about the history of the shop as Christy Wright gets the board ready for a tour.
Board members listen as Christy Wright (production manager) describes how the departments work and how she has overseen tons of materials recycled or thrown away to in order to reorganize the shop.
Kelsey Hunt (resident costume designer & costume shop supervisor) explains how the costume stock is organized (by gender and decade).
Preston Lane (artistic director) and Kathy Manning (board vice-chair) make plans for future meetings. (Set pieces from our production of
Streetcar Named Desire are seen in the background.)
One finds all kinds of interesting curios out in the shop. (I could not find out why we had this hanging around.)
Here is a colorful snapshot out at the shop of bolts of fabric used by props and costumes from everything from chairs to dresses .
