Show Week Get in's and out's
It is no small task to get in and get out a show from our beloved venue. The get in starts from 9.00am (or earlier) till 6.00pm (well, everything is still being put together up until show night) and the get out, even with many hands making light work, goes from 10.00pm until 2.00am, or later. It's a hefty job. We always need more help with both the get ins and outs but particularly with the get in. The get out is not as worrisome because everyone is there anyway and all get stuck right in but the get in requires purposefully coming in and commiting a certain chunk of the day to the cause. We need more people willing to do this. Those who started the get in for Red Riding Hood found themselves a little short on help in the morning so more people are needed for this shift, please and thankyou.
Parent Helpers
Just a quick note that juniors' parents are expected to help out back stage during at least one show night, Thank you.
