It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to a show. Strike, the process of taking down the set and restoring the space to neutral, gives the cast and crew that opportunity. Arriving early on a chilly Tuesday morning, the folks who worked on The Trojan Women picked up power tools, crow bars, ladders, and mops and started this old theatre tradition.
We had a pretty fun time of it- although those relegated to dumpster duty (carrying loads of trash to the dumpster) might say otherwise. (We reuse everything we can but some pieces of wood were just too broken down to keep!). Here are a few shots of the morning. By the end of the day the stage was clean enough for the marley (dance floor) which will be used in Untamed, the upcoming dance concert.
